Solidworks Personal Edition 2005 Tutorial drawings are missing

Solidworks Personal Edition 2005 Tutorial drawings are missing

(OP)
I recently acquired Solidworks Personal Edition 2005.  I downloaded the file "PersonalEdition2004samplefiles.zip" from a Solidworks website in order to access the drawings required to complete the first 7 of the 30 included tutorials.  When I reached the 8th tutorial titled: "Advanced Drawings, Creating Drawing Views" it asks me to open the file: \tutorial\advdrawings\FoodProcessor.slddrw .  While unzipping the above referenced zip file created the directory "advdrawings", there were only 7 files in it and none of them are of this food processor.  Does anyone know where I can download this?  Thank You.

The first place to try would be the VAR you bought the personal edition from.

Thank you CorBlimeyLimey for your valuable links. I have contacted the VAR about this problem but have not yet received a response.

RE: Solidworks Personal Edition 2005 Tutorial drawings are missing

The VAR's does not support PE edition because the PE edition is not bought from them, it's free. You must look at www.solidworks.com under their 3D skills program. That is where all support and registeration is handled. I'm sure any quesiton may have will be answered there.

Wow ... I had totally forgotten the PE was free. Thanks for the reminder Scott.

The URL for the FAQ section is http://www.solidworks.com/pages/news/3DSkillsFAQs2.html#2i

It does mention that "Fee-based support may also be available from your authorized SolidWorks reseller." So give your local VAR a call to see if they will help ... they just might, if they think you are a potential customer. You have nothing to lose by asking.

Usally the AE will help out in that area and not Technical support. I should know... at least through us any PE editions I am not to support. I am to send them to the 3D skills program, otherwise the AE takes over control of the situation and usaully they are already aware of it and they handel it without me even knowing about it. That is probably because they know who is and who isn't a potential customer.
