Learning Solidworks (coreldraw expert)

Learning Solidworks (coreldraw expert)

Hi, my 1st post to the forum.

I'm a long term Coreldraw user and I want to begin drawing in 3d, from what I read, SW is the best cad available.

I would like to know if there is any FREE tutorial for beginners on the web.

If not, what is the best way to begin using SW? I'm designing some simple objects (5 to 10 parts each) that have threads.

These parts then will go to a CNC shop for machining.

Thanks in Advance!!!

RE: Learning Solidworks (coreldraw expert)

If you have a copy, start with the online tutorial built into SolidWorks (under the Help pulldown).  Then try the Introducing SolidWorks PDF (also under Help).

RE: Learning Solidworks (coreldraw expert)

You can contact SolidWorks and request a CD that has videos to show you what SolidWorks can do.
www.solidworks.com

thanks for the prompt replies, I just began with the online tutorial, but my question remains, is there any (other) online free tutorial?

Thanks again

RE: Learning Solidworks (coreldraw expert)

Yes, you can find some that have to do with specific functions, etc.

Try Dimonte Group:

Check out the links and FAQs in this forum (buttons above) and you'll find some other stuff that is very helpful.

SolidWorks is nothing like CorelDraw.

Good luck.

RE: Learning Solidworks (coreldraw expert)

Hi - try this:


http://www.igetit.com -- they offer a free online course --very good for beginners

Hi Kroth, that link is unavailable, I searched google for [ "I get it" solidworks] and found some links but no free ones.

Thanks

RE: Learning Solidworks (coreldraw expert)

Sorry - I finally figured it out ---

The course (very good basic skills) is offered by http://www.cadpo.com --- from them you can get a 3 day free trial --

I got this info from my reseller ---, and it is for a longer period, as promo, probably.

I suggest you go to your/a reseller for longer access, perhaps SW has a deal with cadpo

Regards
