Geometric Software Launches

Software Solutions (Geometric), a leader in product
lifecycle management (PLM) services and technologies,

-
Quickly locates and re-uses part models based on
geometric shape and part attributes

Improves design productivity
-
Eliminates duplicate models and disk clutter
-
Improves parts management by automatic
“clustering”
Key features of 3DSearchIT for SolidWorks:
-
Integrated within SolidWorks for indexing and
locating SolidWorks parts
-
Search results based on shape (geometry) and
SolidWorks attributes
-
Indexes and Searches local and network drives
-
Results ranked by similarity
-
Finds geometric differences between models
-
Automatic indexing of identified drives and
directories
-
Indexer automatically tracks addition, deletion
and modification of parts
-
Indexer can index files when CPU not in use
The basic version of 3DSearchIT for SolidWorks is
free and allows full attribute searching of models
within SolidWorks. 3DSearchIT - Professional contains
many powerful advanced features and is available for
purchase from Geometric’s website. For more information

MCAD Magazine Reviews
CAMWorks
June, 2006 - "The company behind CAMWorks has
been through a number of changes in the last few years.
It was sold to Geometric Software Solution (or GSSL for
short), a company well recognized for its work with many
CAD vendors, but probably best known for adapting
SolidWorks’ eDrawings technology to function with the
majority of leading 2D and 3D applications. While, in
many cases, an acquisition spells doom for applications,
having sat down with the UK distributor
NTCADCAM, it’s clear that the software has advanced
rapidly in terms of both ease of use (through greater
integration with SolidWorks) and functionality. The
latter has expanded greatly from basic 2.5 and 3-axis,
into 5-axis simultaneous and complex mill turn
applications – so let’s dive in, take a look at what it
can do, how it does it and how it can benefit your
business."

TekSoft establishes
certification program for CAMWorks resellers
Scottsdale, Arizona –
February 2, 2006 –
TekSoft has
established a certification program for CAMWorks
value-added resellers (VARs) that measures the
competencies of these professionals and identifies those
resellers that can provide quality training and support
services to CAMWorks customers worldwide.
The first
certification class was held in September 2005 at the
TekSoft Worldwide Reseller Conference. At present,
resellers from the US, Germany, Japan, France, the
Netherlands, Spain and Taiwan have successfully passed a
comprehensive written and hands-on examination. Through
experience and expertise, these Certified CAMWorks
Support Technicians have demonstrated their competency
in CAMWorks.
According to Michael
Sours, TekSoft Application Support Director,
"TekSoft is committed to delivering
quality education and support services to customers
throughout the world. Our
goal is to certify 90% of our CAMWorks resellers by the
end of the year and certification classes are scheduled
at various locations in the US and internationally. We
want our customers to know that the resellers they are
working with have met a minimum set of standards and can
provide
high quality, timely
and accessible software support."
Once certified,
resellers will be required to
meet and maintain the highest level of competency for
each CAMWorks release to ensure the ongoing delivery of
technical education and support for all aspects of
CAMWorks.
CAMWorks is a SolidWorks® Certified Gold CAM
Product that has provided state-of-the-art machining
capabilities seamlessly integrated into the award
winning SolidWorks 3D mechanical design software since
1997. CAMWorks
can be purchased to run with the full version of
