When i first started this blog my goal was to cover as much as possible of  TopSolid 7. Lately i have had some questions  about why i´m not also covering TopSolid V6.

And when you think about it, it makes sense. Why have a TopSolid blog without covering TopSolid V6 which is the most used TopSolid version right now.

So, i´m turning to you, what do you think? Want TopSolid V6 on the blog?

Please state your opinion in the poll to the left.

Copy/paste is one of those keybord shortcuts that are used alot.

Described in this video is how to use copy/paste and aligning a sketch in TopSolid 7.

So it´s summer all over again and sitting in front of the computer doing yet another TopSolid 7 tutorial might be the last thing on your mind.

The sun is shining and all you want to do is to go down to the beach and enjoy the nice weather. But you know what? There´s no need to despair, well be here waiting when you come back!
