Company
Our company was quickly outgrowing our SolidWorks licensing and stand alone seats simply didn’t make sense for us anymore. However, I was very skeptical about networked licensing. The Hawk Ridge team allowed me to come to their office, test drive the network license, and really get comfortable with what we were signing up for. The team is knowledgeable, flexible, and extremely responsive. You don’t always get to choose your software reseller, but if given a choice I would choose Hawk Ridge every time.

New Tango accelerates like a Porsche, trumps gridlock like a motorcycle
CONCORD, Mass., April 9, 2007 – Green cars are tame cars, right? Well, the Tango – a head-turning, lane-splitting, all-electric two-seater that sprints from zero to 60 in four seconds – debunks that inconvenient truth while tackling a part of the transportation problem most alternative vehicles overlook: traffic congestion.
Now being redesigned and refined in SolidWorks® 3D CAD software, the Tango travels two abreast with ease, safely switches lanes through impossible gaps, blithely glides through gridlocked traffic, and, at 39 inches wide, can park four to a space. On top of all that, George Clooney bought the first one – and drives it regularly when staying at his Southern California residence.
Commuter Cars of Spokane, Wash., outsourced the initial Tango design to an engineering firm that used a hodgepodge of CAD software and handed over a set of files that, while well-engineered, were a disorganized mess, according to President Rick Woodbury, who dreamed up the car concept while parked in an LA traffic jam.
