- You should add one additional arguement into this command: Part.CompConfigProperties4 2, 0, True, "config1", False It should be: Part.CompConfigProperties4 2, 0, True, True,...
- WOW..Such a Great resource for all of us Web designers...You Rock Man !!
- Maybe assembly/use is "a piece of cake", because of the size the unit is only "cupcake"? Looks like good times.

I just started messing around with this tool. You are correct about its limitations. Microsoft has another tool in beta right now. Its called Foldershare. This tool is very useful to sync data from mulitple computers. I have it running on my work machine and my home machine. It synchronizes the changes that happen to selected folders on each machine that has the foldershare app running on it. This could be great for having SolidWorks data synchronized across different sites. I don't know how quickly it syncs files, but nonetheless its good to see someone is working in this direction.

Do you think people would use such a web app if it existed? How concerned about security would you be? Would you be willing to pay a small amount of money (say $5 per month, for instance) if the web app gave you, say 1 GB of storage space? Would such a web app save your company money vs. FTP account(s)?
I've often wondered if such a web app would be appealing to the design community, and your opinions would be welcome.
thanks

Storage price isn't so much an issue any more. Amazon S3 is only $0.15 per GB-month/$0.10 per GB transfer. That's cheap.
I'm looking at a Firefox add-on called Amazon S3 Organizer that allows multiple uploads and syncing capabilities. The nice thing is that it's browser based. The lame thing is that it's separate from the service and doesn't allow me to share.
Security could be a concern as well. While you would like to have it encrypted, it's nice to access anywhere online and if user authentication bypasses file encryption it doesn't matter to much anyway.
The pipes (bandwidth) is the big problem, but with HD content being used more and storage needs increasing, I think large model data will fall into place just fine.
It's going to be interesting to see how CAD develops on the Web. It's one of the last things to get there. What options do you think there are?
