welcome to SOLIDWORKS 2018 Essential Training. In this course, we’ll look at the methods and tools for creating manufacturing-ready parts and assemblies, along with detailed drawings and a Bill of Materials. We’ll start with the basic sketch tools. Next we’ll look at modeling 3D features by extruding or evolving sketches into 3D parts. Parts will be modified using a suite of tools that includes fillets, chamfers, rib, draft, and shell plus so much more.
SOLIDWORKS 2018 Essential Training Topics include:

First, see how to how to use the sketch tools to create two-dimensional sketches that become the foundation for 3D objects. Next, look at extruding and revolving 3D features; creating complex objects using the Sweep, Loft, and Surface tools; and modifying parts. Learn how to create uniform holes with the Hole Wizard, and explore more advanced modeling techniques using equations, mirroring, and pattern tools. Then review best practices for putting parts together in assemblies and building robust structures. The course wraps up tips for creating detailed drawings that relate the final parts and assemblies to a manufacturer, complete with an itemized bill of materials and drawing notes.
