Beta Users…Get Ready!

It sounds like SolidWorks 2009 Beta is right around the corner for everyone. Mike Puckett seems to have gotten the inside scoop in this years beta program during his visit to Concord, MA this week (Day 1 Report & Day 2 Report). It sounds like SolidWorks 2009 Beta will launch in early June 2008 and has a tentative scheduled release of early October for the new version of the software.

Mike did a fantastic job laying out all of the details that he found out concerning this years beta including some of the changes that you may notice from previous years. He even gave you a tip to get all kinds of points in his post so you better check out his post Official SolidWorks 2009 Beta Information.

I have never been a part of the beta program in the past but I am really looking forward to participating in it this year after seeing some of the cool features that were previewed to all of the attendees this year at SolidWorks World. I encourage all of you to take a little time to participate in the beta program because the more users that participate now will reduce the number of issues that the software comes shipped with in October.

So in order to get ready make sure you have an account for the SolidWorks Customer Portal, your computer is fine tuned for some crashing, your padded room to work in is ready to go and then wait to see that little link appear announcing that SolidWorks Beta 2009 has gone live.
