I'm new to this forum, but not new to SolidWorks. I can't tell if you have ended your hunt for a contractor to travel to your location or not. I am available for up to 6 months starting in 11/01/08. If this is truly a 1099 situation then we can discuss the $ amount. I do have 15 years CADD experience. SW from 1999-2008 editions. Heavy product developement in a manufacturing environment. Lots of machine design. Thank you.
