 2010 Summer Training Sessions

Our 2010 Summer Training Sessions for Mastercam and SolidWorks were once again a great success. We had a total of 28 teachers in our sessions this year and eveyoone was delighted with the level of training they received.

We will be meeting shortly to decide on places and dates for the workshops we will host during the 2010-2011 school year. Look on our website for the new schedule in about a month. Please contact us if you have any requests or suggestions.

What is SolidWorks 2D Editor?
A replacement for DWG Editor . . . .

 Starting with SolidWorks 2010, Service Pack 3, the 2D editor formerly known as DWGeditor has been removed from the standard installation and media along with its documentation, and has been renamed. Its new name is SolidWorks 2D Editor, and it is only available to licensed SolidWorks customers via the download section within the SolidWorks Customer Portal.

Then what is DraftSight?
Welcome to a better way to read, write and share DWG files – and the place to do it all. Download our free CAD software * and start working with your DWG files. Then start sharing, connecting and interacting with the 3DSwYm DraftSight™ community members. Social networking anyone?

The DraftSight 2D CAD Product. Public Beta is Now Available.

DraftSight is a professional-grade, open 2D CAD product for users who want a better way to read, write and share DWG files. DraftSight is easy to use and is available for professional CAD users, students and educators to download and activate for free.*

Pro/Engineer trainings, in-service, or workshops...

Are you ready to prepare the students for the 21st century? Are you ready to give them the tools and the “know-how”, so they can survive in tomorrow’s highly competitive and global job market?  Are you tired of spending thousands of dollars each year on other computer aided drafting tools? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then consider hosting a workshop in the exciting CAD program called Pro/Engineer Wildfire.

My name is Ariston De Leon and I’m a certified Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) Pro/Engineer Trainer. And more importantly I am a Tech Ed teacher. I wanted to offer my services for workshops in Pro/Engineer 4.0. I have done dozens of these workshops in a span of seven years, which makes me very familiar with the education, and implementation of this exciting CAD software.

Here are a few benefits that Pro/Engineer has over other CAD software
  FREE Pro ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0
  150 seat site license, which also allows students to install the program home.
  This is a perpetual license (no-renewal fees, no yearly lease fees, free patches, and free upgrades)
  Free curriculum materials, tutorials, videos, lesson plans, and guides.

The trainings span 2 days, for 16 hours, but can be spanned to 3 days. I provide all of the materials, including resources in implementing the program. These include full color tutorials, a copy of Pro/Engineer 4.0 Wildfire, and a resource CD.

If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at ariston@mrdeleon.com or you can call me on my cell phone at 443.414.5529. More information is also provided on my website www.mrdeleon.com/trainings
