PartsWorks.com Offers Free Membership

    BELLINGHAM, Wash.--March 18, 2002--Cadalog,Inc. has launched a free, two week membership drive for PartsWorks.com, providing SolidWorks users with what the company believes to be the largest and richest database of 3D, native, feature-based, components available today.

    All Online Parts Free

    Under the special offer, PartsWorks.com is free of charge to any visitor from March 15 to March 31, 2002. During that time as many parts as needed may be downloaded. A simple web browser interface shows various categories to help find a specific part. Families of parts, manufacturers, category, type and specific dimensions or number of each part are displayed. After finding a specific part, a user selects the SolidWorks or other CAD file formats desired and downloads a zipped file. Files take about 5 seconds to download with a T-1 connection and a little longer using a dial-up modem. After downloading, the file may be unzipped and dragged into SolidWorks.

    Over 50 Manufacturers' Catalogs
