How Ask an Expert Has Helped Customers
”After upgrading SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PDM, we needed to run a complete File Version Update. It seemed like a complex task with many variables. After an ‘Ask an Expert’ session, we now fully understand the settings and have everything documented, so we’re confident doing it ourselves next time.”
“We reached out for help with improving how we worked with spare parts lists in SOLIDWORKS Composer. Our process was manual and time-consuming – creating views, exporting to Illustrator, cleaning up lines, adding balloons, and copying into Word. After a focused 2-hour ‘Ask an Expert’ session, we left with a much more efficient solution.”
“After a major change to our company structure and the introduction of a new AD, we had to review and reconfigure our full server setup. With help from an ‘Ask an Expert’ session, we made the needed adjustments and got everything running smoothly again.”
