The SOLIDWORKS User Forum is a public community where all are welcome to learn, engage, discover and share knowledge with other SOLIDWORKS Users - desktop, cloud-connected, or pure cloud. We encourage everyone to communicate, comment, collaborate, share best practices, feedback, build relationships, and exchange ideas with other users.
In addition to the Terms of Use (TOU) that each user accepts upon account registration, here are the community participation guidelines.

The Community team reserves the right to remove posts, comments or members that fail to follow these guidelines.
Enforcement:
If you fail to follow the rules, we will ask you politely to stop misbehaving via direct contact. If the misbehaving continues, the community manager reserves the right to:

How Much Help Can I Expect from this Community:
On the SOLIDWORKS User Forum, your Questions to the community may generate replies with tips, suggestions, guidelines or even direct answers. Some Questions you may ask could require a full review of your data including multiple back-and-forth communications. In such situations, the assistance the community can offer may be limited because the SOLIDWORKS User Forum is not an appropriate venue to receive Technical Support. If your Question does not receive sufficient community help to move forward, please consider reaching out to your SOLIDWORKS Value-Added Reseller (VAR) for further assistance. If you are using a SOLIDWORKS Student Edition license instead, you can go here to get support.
