New to Solidworks and my company will not get us training.
(OP)
Subject lines says it all.
Myself 20 plus years of Pro-Engineer, one year UG NX and now they have switched to Solidworks 2014. I have been digging around trying to find the icons I need but like all new tools it's not easy to start with everything is there just somewhere.
Is there any good online training available to learn the drawing detail package?
Thank you,
Jeff

Start with the tutorials, repeat them several times, then go to you tube.
Your biggest problem is going to be un learning the other programs, muscle memory is hard to over ride.

RE: New to Solidworks and my company will not get us training.
I used Solidworks for a year, then Pro-E for 10 years, and am now using solidworks again for the last 2 years. Never had much trouble. In fact, most questions I have, seem to be common questions, where there really isn't a way to do what I want.
Jump in and start modeling. Google anything you have questions on. You'll get thru it and get up to speed in no time.

It's a great way tonetwork and learn new things about the program.
SolidProfessor is a decent tool but I myself have always preferred learn by testing approach. I have also used construction toys like Lego and Construx and even FisherTechnic which are great example models for learning patterns, features as well as configurations (Family Tables) and especially Assemblies. As a proE user you'll probably love the freedom of underdefined sketches and not having the software constantly adding weak dims to keep full constraints against design intent. Then again imho the PTC sketcher Intent Manager has better ways of resolving sketches than Sketch Expert.
One great option in sketcher is to automatically make overdefined dims reference instead of yelling at you like ProE used to "Resolve Mode". If you have a list of Proe's icon's & features you want the SolidWorks equivalents of post em here or personal message me at the mcadcentral.C forum 'mjcole_ptc' and I'll be glad to answer your questions.
I'd suggest finding your best user now or from proe team and divy up your questions about SldWorks.exe and search out the answers. The forums.solidworks.com site is a good community in addition to this one and the mcad one too (three) haha couldn't help myself.
Where is your company based?
