SOLIDWORKS Class 1: Interface and Navigation (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Welcome to our first SOLIDWORKS Course covering Interface and Navigation. This class is the first of our SOLIDWORKS Class Series which consists of 12 short classes ranging from 15 mins to 1.5 hrs. The series will take you from knowing nothing about SOLIDWORKS to the Certified Professional Level (CSWP)

The learning objectives for this specific class are:

How to start a new part.
What is represented in the command bar, canvas and design tree.
How to select different measurement systems for your files.
How to utilize the mouse through right clicks, zooming and rotating the model through the scroll wheel.

For this class project, you will experiment with SOLIDWORKS sketching. You will:

Open a new part
Start a sketch.
Sketch whatever shape that comes to mind by experimenting. Do not worry too much about that. 3. Next class will be all about sketching.

Watch lecture 9 for this class for details of how to go about this.
