The New Certified SolidWorks Professional Exam Is Now Available
This past weekend we released the fourth edition of the Certified SolidWorks Professional Exam. The new exam is different to the past versions in one big way. Instead of requiring a user to commit three continuous hours to take the exam, this release has been broken down into three separate segments which affords a few great benefits.
Users can take the three separate segments when their schedule allows so they will not have to take a large chunk of time away from their normal work flow. Once a segment is passed the user can move onto the other segments at their leisure. They can choose to take the segments in any order they choose as well. If a user fails a segment, they have the option of purchasing that segment alone at one-third the cost of the entire exam instead of having to purchase the entire exam again. Once all three segments have been passed our system will automatically issue their certificate to them.

Packaging Machinery Designers Face Five Big Challenges, says DS SolidWorks
Solutions Catch Problems Early and Drive Cost Out of Designs
CONCORD, Mass., USA, May 18, 2009 – Designers of packaging machinery face an increasingly daunting set of challenges, but with the right tools designers can help their companies prevail in a competitive marketplace.
Five discrete challenges are contributing heavily to packaging machine design success or failure, says Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp. (DS SolidWorks). DS SolidWorks explores these challenges and solutions in a whitepaper called “Streamlining the Design of Packaging Machinery,” and in a podcast and Web site (www.solidworks.com/packaging). The company is using this same framework to optimize SolidWorks® 3D CAD software for packaging machinery design.
