Progress report

I would like to update everybody on my progress with SolidWorks. I think it goes great. SolidWorks is a very powerful product, and it turned out that it is much easier to use than I anticipated.

My previous computer aided design experience is rutted in the PCAD system that I used back in the days for schematics and PCB design, and as well as design of anything else since it was the only CAD system I had access to. I must say that SolidWorks is much more intuitive and easier to use.

An interesting thing happened after I implemented the design of my product. In my head it all looked great and appeared to make perfect sense. But now, that I have a 3D model in front of me, I can see that certain things need more thought put into them. I positively just gained a whole new level of respect for designers and inventors.
