From time to time I do presentations on the SolidWorks API and one that gets requested fairly often is the Beginner’s Guide To The API.  I just presented this in Roanoke, VA at the Blue Ridge SolidWorks User’s Group headed up by Jeremy Marks.  They were a good bunch of guys (although there was a University of North Carolina fan in attendance) and it seems like a well-run group.  However, after risking my life to get there by driving through what seemed the rain-storm of the century on unfamiliar mountain highways with almost no visibility I have decided that in the future it might be safer for me to simply make the presentation available on my blog : )

Also, the SolidWorks Autonumbering Macro (w/ MS Access Database) that I usually show has been written up for ConnectPress with a link to download the Macro and Database.  You can view that article here:

Due to blackmail and extortion a request from my good friend Rohizzle, I have updated the popular Number Generator to work with 2009.  I have not made any enhancements so you can refer to the previous version’s post for instructions. 

Net:  This is an addin for SolidWorks Entperprise PDM that enables users to pick, at run-time, the numbering sequence to use for auto-numbering.
