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
