“Solidworks to modo: What’s in the kit” was a well attended session at SolidWorks World 2011. Paul McCrorey and I teamed up to give this session together. Neither of us had ever done a session with a partner but it went well and very smooth I think. The presentation gives an overview of what users…

The announcement really just gives us a…
