How to Navigate

Categories are listed on the right side of the video channel. Click any category and it will generate the videos relevant to the category. Be sure to check out the "Lunch Bytes" for the newest tutorials and past replays from the Ally PLM Application Engineering staff.

Below the Categories is a post Archive including titles of each video posted which is in a hierarchy format and easy to find what you want.

To make things even easier, in the upper right, the search feature searches everything on the channel. Say you want to see all of the videos we have about Solid Edge ST3. Simply type "Solid Edge ST3" in the upper right, and any video we have in Solid Edge ST3 will generate. You can also search modeling specific features such as Drafting, Mold Tooling, Translators, etc.

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome as we stride in continuing to provide valuable and current technical resources for Siemens PLM Software users.

Ally PLM at Fifth Third Field

Fifth Third Field and The Dayton Dragons welcome Ally PLM Solutions!

Ally PLM is hosting a series of free informational events for Dassault Systemes SolidWorks users to talk about future development of the software and issues surrounding the kernel change. The events are free and consist of an hour presentation at the stadium from the SolidWorks Bible author Matt Lombard, immediately followed by the ball game - tickets courtesy of Ally PLM. Matt's knowledge, publishings, honest approach, and long-time history using the software make him a go-to resource in the SolidWorks community.

Last Thursday (August 30, 2012) we kicked off the first of our 3 events in Dayton, OH at Fifth Third Field with the Dayton Dragons. Be sure to join us on September 20 at PNC Park with the Pittsburgh Pirates or September 21 in Cincinnati for the last Friday night game at Great American Ball Park.

From Matt Lombard following the presentation:
"At least one of the SolidWorks users thought the main premise of the talk (Kill SolidWorks, long live Catia Lite) was beyond belief, and went to their reseller to ask. The response from the reseller was that the Catia-based product will be available in 2014, and that the data transition will be “seamless”. (They’re resellers, what do you want them to say?) Basically confirming the new direction. I’ve heard elsewhere that the new software will be shown at SolidWorks World 2013."

Get Informed:

See if the new direction of SolidWorks really makes sense for you, and determine if your CAD tools and data are at high-risk. Have the rare opportunity to network with a nationally-recognized SolidWorks authority at the baseball game while you're at it. We hope you can join us.

Get details or register for our upcoming events with the Cincinnati Reds or Pittsburgh Pirates at www.allyplm.com/solidworks.
