Learn the fundamental aspects of the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD software. You will: Create sketches using lines, rectangles, arcs, and more. You'll use dimensions and relations to define the size and shape of the sketches. Use the sketches to develop extruded bosses, cuts, revolves, and more into 3D solids, commonly called parts. Combine the parts into assemblies and define the relationships between the parts using mates. Capture manufacturing information with 2D drawings of your 3D parts and assemblies. Learn about the additional tools that allow you to do even more with your parts and assemblies. You'll learn how to edit sketches and parts to make design changes and you'll learn about configurations to create families of parts such as bolts of different lengths and diameters.

Learn some of the basics of modeling parts in SOLIDWORKS, including design intent and editing sketches and parts.

Prepare for the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional (CSWP) exam. Learn about sketching, features, equations, mass properties, assemblies, mates, and other topics prior to taking the CSWP exam.

Learn about the various types of fillet features that can be used to round edges and corners.

Working with Large Assemblies can be a challenge, but with the proper tools and techniques they can be managed. Learn about what happens when you open an assembly, choosing the best assembly mode, the available assembly techniques and some helpful settings and tips.

Learn additional tools, such as editing route geometry and using the routing library manager, for using routing in SOLIDWORKS to model a path of pipes between components.
