This is really great stuff. I went to school for mechanical engineering and learned a lot of CAD then, but that was 17 years ago now, and I never did end up going to work as an engineer. I recently picked up Solidworks in preparation for building an airplane, and wanted to find some good videos to help me get spun up on the specifics of this program and knock the rust off my general CAD skills. I was not expecting to find an entire college course up for free on KZbin! These videos and your workbook are amazing resources, and you are a gentleman and a scholar for making them available like this. It beats the pants off the first person's video I found, who ended up just wanting to sell me their $1200 Solidworks course... Well done!!!

[@lawalwahab9443]

can u share me your software please

[@rickzuray8493]

I have watched many SW videos and this series by far is the most cohesive, clear, and concise series I have seen. Leaps and bounds above all the rest.

[@SpicyTurkey83]

I've taken courses all over the internet and school (I have a masters in ME), and I have to tell you Chris is the best instructor out of all of them. I had a douche bag professor who would just scream at us every time we had questions and it really stressed me out. I even had a fear of Solidworks until I took Chris's class. He really makes it fun and interesting.

[@adrianrichardson2687]

Thanks for this excellent course. Most of the other Solidworks training on KZbin and LinkedIn is taught so fast that you spend more time stopping and rolling back than learning anything. For a novice, your teaching pace and details are fantastic.

[@conradorodriguez9498]

[@singhsingh7216]

Best teacher ever

[@DidzisZiemelis-z3y]

Hi! I like your tutorials, I think they are great. I started learning using only fully defined sketches, I think it is a good practice but your text isn't fully defined and there is not a single tutorial on how to define a text. So there is a room for improvement.

[@vertanux1]

Thank you for the kind words. There is a point at the bottom left corner of a text sketch to dimension to, or if using a curve to align your text to, you can dimension the curve or line to any edge of the part surface you are adding the text to.

[@madsenjohannes]

[@deucedeuce1572]

Can you mirror a feature, but then make the feature different on each side? ..or make each instance of mirrored features a different size?

[@trexinvert]

Yes, there is a method(multiple body) that allows you to treat each object like it's in an assembly. Even though you are not in a true assembly.

[@deucedeuce1572]

@@trexinvert Appreciate the reply. I also learned that if you mirror a feature on a line, but then delete that line it will no longer mirror features that are added after that.

[@klarafa2919]

That IMT_103 2 is just extrude or revolve a cylinder then on the top face draw another sketch (circle) and extrude it etc, right?

[@deucedeuce1572]

Cen several surfaces be aligned all at once, before the part moves into position? Like if I want to mate two parts together at three positions, can I mate all three positions while the parts are separate from each other and then have them all move into position only after I mate all three positions (six surfaces)? That way, a hard to align/mate part can be aligned without mating surfaces becoming hidden after mating just the initial surfaces.

[@trexinvert]

Yes, but in actual practice you will find it easy to "maneuver" a part during sequential constraining.

[@RobA-ng4bq]

Will this training material be suitable for learning Solidwork 2018 or would it be totally different?

[@SpencerIsSalted]

what knowledge do you walk out of this course with? enough for a CSWA? what about a CSWP?

[@vertanux1]

Hi Spencer, in an unofficial poll I took a few years back, approximately 40% of my students who went through both this course CAD 120 Basics and my Advanced CAD 121 who took a CSWP exam (the majority took the Sheet Metal CSWP, and one took the Freeform CSWP - which IMO is very challenging) had passed the first time taking it. I don't keep track of CSWA's nor have I took the CSWA exam, but when I hear my students discussing it, the majority seem to have passed it after CAD 121. Theoretically, from what I've read about the CSWA I would think one could pass it after taking this CAD 120 course, but I have no data to support that. A lot depends on how much effort the student put into the course, i.e. if they do all the labs without watching the videos they seem to be stronger SolidWorks designers than those who skip or watch the lab videos while modeling them. I hope this helps.

[@mrgiggles7840]

thanks for this great video - one small tip - when you give instructions you can cut to the chase by leaving out the term ..." lets go ahead and ,,,,,,,, or " now we will go ahead and " ...... it adds nothing .....just state : " do this ,,,,,,,,, do that ...... "

[@vertanux1]

Hi Mrgiggles, Thank you for the kind words. Channel Description: Non-professional, rough, unedited, educational CAD/CAE/CAM Videos. "Don't expect much, and you may find something useful."

[@deucedeuce1572]

Always hate when the program shows exactly what you want it to do... but then when you tell it to do it, you get an error message. I think the worst though is when you get a single error that you have to work with for a moment and each and every single action you do has to remind you of the error, as if you're not aware from the first 15 times it reminded you.

[@trexinvert]

I hear you. Very frustrating for many "self-learners" especially when you are in a rush. However, it's worth it to take a formal SW training(2-3 days) or stop and just commit yourself to a formalized learning system. I learned to create a very complicated surface model, but if I did anything different such as change a dim that was too large or too small then whole things collapsed. It is a house of cards if you don't know all the ins and outs.
