SolidWorks Corporation is providing this new functionality through
its partnership with GlobalSpec, the leading specialized search engine
and information resource for the engineering community.
"Conventional Internet searches typically uncover rafts of
information irrelevant to engineering and often fail to uncover what
the engineer really wants to find," said Ed Miller, president of
CIMdata, a worldwide consulting and research firm focused on product
lifecycle management (PLM). With Autodesk(R) Vault's
built-in data management capabilities, Autodesk Inventor enables designers to
create, manage and share designs more easily, optimizing the company's
investment in design data.

First-ever combination helps engineers find the information they
need to create better designs faster

SolidWorks Corporation for the first time has added tightly
focused engineering search tools to 3D mechanical design software,
providing access to GlobalSpec, The Engineering Search Engine(SM)
directly inside its computer-aided design environment.
(Nasdaq: ADSK) today announced that Autodesk Inventor(R) Series software has
outsold all other 3D mechanical design applications for the fourth consecutive
year. With six million users, Autodesk is the world's leading software

SolidWorks users will access GlobalSpec through a search field in
the SolidWorks 2005 Task Pane, which appears on the SolidWorks desktop
whenever the application is open. SolidWorks is taking
the next step in exploiting this capability by putting GlobalSpec -
The Engineering Search Engine - on the SolidWorks Task Pane, so
engineers can access and use this extended engineering information as
they work. The engineer can limit the search
by variables such as shaft size, RPMs, and voltage. Engineers and
technical buyers regularly use GlobalSpec in their work process to
search for and locate products and services, learn about suppliers,
and access comprehensive technical content on standards, patents,
materials properties, specifications , designs, application notes, and
