Abstract:
Ten Essentials You Must Understand to Use SolidWorks Effectively
Let’s take a step back and look at the essence of using SolidWorks effectively. The ten essentials of SolidWorks; not just a list of beginner topics, but concepts and tools inside SolidWorks that once learned, will help you survive your day to day projects. Understand these and you will be more productive and work the way the tools were intended, instead of fighting them. Here’s a quick list of my ten essentials you must understand to use SolidWorks effectively:
·File Management
·FeatureManager Design Tree
·Templates and Sheet Formats
·Design Intent
·Two Dimensional Sketching
·Constraints (Relations and Mates)
·Configurations
·Multiple Bodies
·Custom Properties and BOMs
·In-Context Features, Bottom Up / Top Down
