Dave's Rave

Tips 'n tricks related to CAx and PLM software and hardware. Primary posts are about Solid Edge, Insight and Teamcenter data management but there's smatterings of other "stuff" that as a hacker I feel is handy to get your job done.

This is a technical how-to get stuff done better and faster blog.
