SOLIDWORKS 2020 Essential Training

SOLIDWORKS is the premier product-design software—enabling you to deliver innovative solutions to market faster. In this course, Gabriel Corbett teaches you how to build ready-to-manufacture parts and assemblies as well as detailed drawings and itemized bills of materials in SOLIDWORKS 2020. Learn how to create 2D sketches and then extrude, revolve, loft, and sweep these features into 3D objects. Find out how to make cuts and create standard holes, and explore more advanced modeling techniques using blocks, mirroring, and the SOLIDWORKS pattern tools. Then review best practices for putting parts together in assemblies and creating detailed drawings. Along the way, Gabriel highlights new features from the 2020 release, as well as features designed for users with pen or touch devices.
