  2. The SOLIDWORKS User Forum

“The SOLIDWORKS User Forum is a wealth of knowledge. There are many Users that are on all the time and they're going to quickly answer your question. Don't be afraid to research your question – chances are someone has already asked it and it's floating out there.”

–Betty Baker, Product Coordinator, User Group Leader and Youth Mentor

“I originally used the SOLIDWORKS User Forum to learn new tips and tricks and find solutions to problems for myself and my co-workers. I eventually transitioned to answering more questions than I was asking or searching for.”

–Eric Beatty, Designer, SOLIDWORKS Champion and Power User

“I've been on the SOLIDWORKS User Forum for many years, both learning and helping. Originally, you go looking for answers, but then you dive in to a question that gets you interested and you start to reply. Then people start to be thankful for helping them out – and I hate to see people struggle.”

–John Matrishon, Designer, SOLIDWORKS User Group Leader, Cigar Box Guitar Extraordinaire
