In-Person Event - Vortex Optics

Sep 19, 5:00 – 10:00 PM (UTC)

Madison Area SOLIDWORKS Users Group

Join MASWUG for a unique, one-of-a-kind event as we visit Vortex Optics in Barneveld!
Vortex has graciously invited us to tour their facility, including an opportunity to trial their optics at their company shooting range!

Jeff Setzer w/ GCS will be kicking off this event with a presentation titled: Speed Up Your SOLIDWORKS Experience!

  • Abstract: In modern SOLIDWORKS, there are several ways to speed up your workflows through things like Context Menus, Breadcrumbs, Live Hotkeys inside of commands, Keyboard Shortcuts, Shortcut Toolbars, Mouse Gestures, and Custom Tabs. We’ll take a deep dive into all these techniques, discuss the pros and cons of each, and run through how to backup and share your customized setups. Even seasoned pros will learn a new trick or two in this session!

Please note: this event will take place during work hours. If our typical evening meetings don’t fit your schedule, this is your chance to participate!
