Latest News from SolidWorks World 2012

Presenter: Phil Sluder

Best of SolidWorks Tips and Tricks 2012

There will include something for everyone; parts, assemblies, and drawings. We’ll break down and simplify some very creative ways to use common SolidWorks tools with emphasis on why we picked various tools and explore alternate methods to solve problems. Experience a fast paced session of tips focusing on how to use SolidWorks 2012 in the real world. These will not be found in the help file, they come from years of learning, teaching, and using it daily in a small dynamic design environment.
