New Handbook Web Site

[Charles Davis]

For those who are interested, there is a new web site for the Mastercam Handbooks that has some information, samples, etc.

 

www.thesolacegroup.com

 

It's still under construction, but I hope to have all the kinks worked out soon.

 

I scoured the emastercam site and included some of your nice comments about the books. I hope those who I quote don't mind. If you do, just send me an email and I'll remove your comments.

You've got mail.

Thanks. If anyone needs any contact info changed or added, or notice any typos or errors, please let me know.

Still trying to de-bug this. I have nice looking buttons on the Home page in Microsoft FrontPage 2003. But when I publish, I get plain text buttons. Any Web Guru's out there have an idea why?

 

If anyone has any ideas on how I can make this more useful, let me know. I'll probably add some more samples and may start posting revisions and downloads, once I get the hang of how to manage the site. You want it, ask and I'll try to deliver it.

 

I want to test if I can display a pic, so here is a nice shot of Zion National Park in S. Utah (hopefully!).

So Charles

You will have free 5axis posts on the site? LOL

[Charles Davis]

Yeah, mpmaster.pst

 

What else would be useful?

1. Revivions/corrections to book?

2. More exercises?

3. More samples?

4. Drill chart?

Charles, you might want to change the background color to make it easier to read the text on your pages.

[Hardmill]

Just reselect the color when you create a hyperlink and they wont stay blue.

What buttons specifically are you trying to use charles??

I can try them when I get home. Are you sure you uploaded them to your site ??

 

 

PEACE

CHarles,

 

Make sure your server supports Front Page entensions.

[Charles Davis]

Thanks about the Extensions. They said it did, but I'm not so sure. Everything else seems to work.

 

The buttons on the home page should look like this:

 

[Hardmill]

I'm using Firefox and I get blue text links

[Charles Davis]

I put some free stuff on the Downloads page.

 

I also got the Feedback form working.

Hey man, I can help you out alot with that Do you have MSN messenger or anything like that? Or populate IRC anywhere? Only thing I can really say that would make it better, without getting too complex, is using a include() function to keep the content on the main page! I can show you how to do that, or if you want, I could do it for free

 

Using the include() would keep the navbar and everything the same, so it would make your life(and the users) life MUCH easier!

 

You in San Diego btw? I'm Santee.

Exodus, he is in Louiville KY these days.

If you are mastercam customer in San Diego then he would of been your dealer.

[Exodus]

 

I'm not a mastercam customer!

 

My instructor is

Exodus, all good I thing you have said this in the past, now that I use this old bran of mine.

Some times I just need to do this a few time and all is well.

[Exodus]

He he. Just wondering, is there an official Solidworks reseller down here in SD? I'm trying to find an unpaid HighSchool internship with a company using S/W. I bought my solidworks SE from my moms school, so I don't actually have one.

[Charles Davis]

Thanks for the input! I've got a lot of stuff working now. I'm still hacking at it. Frontpage 2003 makes this a lot easier than it used to be!

 

I think In-House Solutions will start presenting the handbook sales in $US soon. It's something I've wanted for a while, but evidently more complicated than I expected, since it's license to In-House (Canadian company) for distribution.

 

For Solidworks in SD, you may want to talk with GoEngineer in SD. I think Bill Campbell is still there.

 

---------------------------------

 

I still own SD CAD/CAM with my business partner, and am involved on an hourly basis every day. I just work from my home office in Louisville (instead of my home office in San Diego!). The Internet is an awesome thing! With IM, email, and unlimited cell phone usage, it's surpising how close SD and Lou are!

 

I do tech support, posts, business strategy, and work on the Handbooks.

Okay, I'll look into him. I gotta save up some money or get a job(been looking... Freelance PHP for the win! ) My license just ran up after getting it for christmas 2 years ago
