    online certification

    Hi all, Been trying to get Tangix TesterPro to run. Apparently has issues with our system here. Tangix has issued another "to fix" order. They told me I would be able to take the exam from home. Does the CSWA/CSWP care what version is running. I have '06 home.

    Hi all, Tried my VAR for info on vouchers for free exams and he didnt know much. I logged onto the SW site and found information for the cert tests. I got voucher ids the next morning. Before I start, Do the exams require a version of SW or are they independant? Thanks

    concentricity mate in SW2007

    Thanks all One of the parts was an imported model and while the concentric mate was able to be selected between the two surfaces, I suspect the imported feature has some issues. The mate seems ok with parts I draw.

    To CSWP or not to CSWP...

    Thanks to all for your help. I need to decide the value of such a certification. Not sure its recognized, or needs to be, for much outside of personal achievment. Thanks again!

    To CSWP or not to CSWP...

    Hi all, Been a user for a number of years, mostly self taught and proficient in what I do, mainly machine design. I've seen all the SW issue manuals and not impressed with their content. Seems as though someone interested in taking the CSWP exam would need more than just a "press this button..."...

    time dependant features

    Hi all, what are time dependant features? I've seen the list i.e. assembly features, in context, etc. I guess I dont grasp the "time" part.
