The kind of newsletter I like

If you have bought lessons from Solid Professor, chances are you receive their interactive newsletter “Ask Solid Professor” already.  Isn’t it the neatest thing? I have never bought any lessons from them, I’ve only sampled the freebies, but I receive the newsletter just the same, because it’s free for everyone. You don’t need to buy from Solid Professor to subscribe to it. Now, the really neat thing about it is that, unlike other newsletters, it features 3 mini-video lessons answering questions that were submitted by users, like you or me, who subscribe to the newsletter. You can even include files when submitting your question to them! Of course, it may take some time before you can get an answer to your question, so if you’re in a hurry, your best bet is still to get yourself a good reference book, try to get the help from your VAR, or head for the SolidWorks user forums or SolidMentor.  But if you are not in a hurry, or if you are just a bit curious and wish to learn something, then perhaps you should subscribe to it.  After all, it’s free! Searching through their archive of previous questions and answers isn’t free for everyone, though. I believe there is a nominal fee (something around $25 dollars) for those who haven’t bought learning materials from Solid Professor. I’m about to submit a question myself to see how long it takes for them to answer. Check out the newsletter and you may see my question there one of these days!
