solid Works Professional 1

[AlliedAuto]

Hi all,

I've been working in Mechanical Design for the last year now using Solid Works. I feel fairly comfortable with it at this stage but I'd like to go one(maybe 5) step further and become a Solid Works Professional. I understand that it takes a serious amount of effort to become one as it's not just the basic stuff that one needs to know.

What I want to find out is what I should be doing to prepare myself for the exam? Are there any books that are out there specifically to help out? I've gone on the SolidWorks website and downloaded models and stuff but there's no documentation with them so I'm not really sure what to do with them apart from doing roll backs and trying to model them from square one but it's a bit monotonous.

God bless,

Phil.

is a great resource to prepare for the CSWP exam, as are the SolidWorks help files. You'll need to know something about almost every facet of SolidWorks.

Just put your feet up and relax now, CBL. It's been a long week.
