Some of these products were developed in-house, some remotely, and others by third party suppliers.I also worked extensively on SolidWorks’ future ECAD-MCAD product strategy, liaising with ECAD partners such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence and Zuken to ensure SolidWorks remained at the forefront of developments in ECAD. I was also involved with the development of the ProSTEP iViP EDMD format for ECAD-MCAD interchange.Out of the office I presented on ECAD-MCAD Collaboration to CAD users and resellers at user group meetings and trade shows such as SolidWorks World and the Dassault European Customer Forum.
