I take it most folks have come here and gotten straight to foruming without saying hello…  
I, for one, am glad that I stumbled upon this group after the 3dExperience migration.

It looks like things are going pretty well and I’m looking forward to joining the discussion. Maybe I’ll have to copy some of my questions from the SolidWorks subreddit over here and see if I can get any more than the zero responses I’ve gotten over there so far.

Most users here came from CADForum.net when it was retired. They went to CADForum.net when the old SOLIDWORKS forums were retired. So you skipped a step. Unless you were a CADForum.net member. If so, you should have received a couple of emails a few months back notifying you about this place, but some emails didn’t go through. If you had a CADForum.net account, let me know and I can merge this account with it. If you never had a CADForum.net account, then welcome. And yes, feel free to copy/paste any questions you had on Reddit. We are very knowledgeable bunch and like answering questions.

No sir, Skipped right on past [CADForum.net](http://CADForum.net)… I guess I’ve always been a little advanced 😉  
… Or maybe I’m just slow 🤷

Thanks!

Welcome, you should get a response to most questions, unless we just don’t know. Reddit seems to be full of “kids” trying to learn SolidWorks and get help with their homework.

I’m glad to see that [CADForum.Net](http://CADForum.Net) has found a new home, and that all the stuff from there (at least what I’ve seen so far) made it to this website! Shortly after the I found cadforum & had a powermill forum added, we had a (suspicious) fire at my old place, and then went out of business. By the time I landed a new job, cadforum was gone… I was crushed. It was nice to be in a community made by users for users. it had the old Delcam forum feel to it.

Looking forward to trying to reignite interest in the PowerMill forum here, and continuing to learn more on the Solidworks macro forum.

Welcome back. You may find that some images and attachments were lost in the move from CADForum, but for the most part, everything else came across intact.

Hello @JimSculley Thanks again for getting this forum up and going a year ago I believe. Hope things are going well with you.
