Most of the user interface did not change from last year beside some subtle color changes. This course is a hybrid of SOLIDWORKS 2016 and SOLIDWORKS 2017. Complete with an itemized bill of materials and drawing notes. Finally, we'll see how to create drawings to relate the final parts and assemblies to a manufacturer. Then we'll cover the best practice for putting parts together into assemblies, and building robust structures.

We'll explore more advanced modelling techniques using the Pattern, Mirror, and Equation tools. Next we will learn how to create uniform standard hole sizes using the automated Hole Wizard. Parts will be modified using a suite of tools that includes Fillets, Chamfers, Ribs, Drafts, Shell, and so many more. Next, we'll look at modelling 3D features by extruding or revolving sketches into 3D parts, followed by creating more complex objects using the Sweep, Loft and Surface tools. We'll start with the basic sketch tools and create two-dimensional sketches that will become the foundation for 3D objects. 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. SOLIDWORKS is the world leader in 3D solid modelling software used for product design and development. Hi, I'm Gabriel Corbett and welcome to SOLIDWORKS 2017 Essential Training.
