Today, Friday, December 20^th will be my last day working for Dassault Systèmes - SolidWorks. I will be starting a new job in the design field in January 2014. 

I just want to convey how grateful I am to have been part of this fantastic SW community over the past decade. Because of this forum, SWW, customer visits and SWUGs I have been able to meet many of you personally and establish not only a working relationship but a friendship. I have had the privilege of seeing, first hand, all the amazing products that you build and how many different and unique ways you are using SolidWorks.  Thank you for all the outstanding  feedback that you’ve given me (us) all these years and for each and every one of you that have contributed to this forum – you are such an important part of SolidWorks’ success – more than you know; what amazing community YOU have built here! I would also like to thank Greg Jankowski and Richard Doyle (and the other administrators) for their thoughtful and considerate nurturing this forum.

It is unclear at this time whether I’ll be able to continue my involvement here as a “SW user” but I do hope so; I will know more in a month or two.  I will be updating my LinkedIn in January so hopefully we can reconnect.

So long for now

Mark
