Customer Portal
The SolidWorks Customer Portal is full of useful information. It requires a login, and you can find it at https://customerportal.solidworks.com. Portions of the portal, such as the SolidWorks Forums, are available to anyone with or without a subscription. Other areas, such as the service pack downloads, are available only to subscription customers.
SolidWorks Forums
The SolidWorks Forums have areas of wide interest for most users. They include about 40 different topic areas, each with a constant flow of information. SolidWorks employees sometimes answer questions, and knowledgeable users often give good answers and invaluable perspectives on not just modeling and CAD admin topics but also general mechanical engineering or materials sourcing.
You can read the forums without an account, but you need an account to post messages. Accounts can be granted to anyone even if you are not on maintenance. You can find the forums at http://forum.solidworks.com.
