I am aerospace engineer and for fellow engineers, specially for freshman I would strongly advice not to master a specific software but instead master the CAD fundamentals and design philosophy. At college I used to work with NX but pandemic arrived and school shot out, I didn't have access to NX anymore so I downloaded Freecad, yes, obviously NX is far superior it holds your hand if you are not so good at fundamentals, it forgives you errors. In the other hand, Freecad mistreat you if you don't have fundamentals but you can design pretty much anything, from mechanical design to surfacing, only if you have mastered fundamentals before.

I started using AutoCAD in 1993. Version 10-11 I believe. Then in 1996 I started my mechanical design career at a medical device manufacturer. There they were using ProEngineer 3D. So, I had it installed and learned how to use it over the next year. But then the company acquired several other smaller medical device companies. They all used SolidWorks 1997. So, I had it installed and learned how to use it. Even took several of the the different courses offered by the software resellers on site at the company. I got tired of switching between ProEngineer, AutoCAD and SolidWorks. I found SolidWorks worked best for me. So now it's been 26 years Iv'e been using SolidWorks in various industries like Aviation, Medical Devices, Consumer Products, Sheet Metal, Plastic Product Design etc. I still use SolidWorks every day at work. It has served me well. Currently using version 2016. Due an upgrade soon.

I have a question. In my university CAD design is a class offered on the 1st semester of the 1st year, basically you get to learn the basics of inventor and once you get done with the exam you'll never touch CAD design for the rest of the degree. With prices that high for solidworks or inventor how are you supposed to get out of university and land any sort of job if you can barely remember the basics of what you did years ago and you obviously never worked in the industry? Do companies take the toll, are you the one that buys the software at your own expense, never having worked a day in your life? This looks like a massive barrier to entry... am I missing something here?

[@with-Aryan]

Companies take the toll for sure! And you, need to get a student license and practice until then, because companies wouldn’t waste money if you have no idea what you’re doing. Student version of SW can be purchased for $99 for a year. Check my course

[@hanstubben]

I use Solidworks since 1998, by far the best 3D engineering CAD, on the other end I´m also a Autocad user since 1988 (release 8, DOS) and must say that I still can´t work without. Almost all my projects are done in Solidworks and I make complete assemblies of machine plants (cotton gins) with it, but when it comes to drawing a functional diagram, a floor layout, a location drawing of the site, then Autocad is the way to go. Draftsight was a good free alternative for Autocad, but now they charge you too and is not on par with Autocad.

[@with-Aryan]

percisely!

[@tanji8592]

But autocad is too heavy in my low spec pc. Do you have sugestion for other autocad like software ?

@@tanji8592 if AutoCAD is to hard on your computer, you should consider investing into a newer one. Autocad is not too bad as you are using it for 2D, any cheap video card can handle AutoCAD. If you need 3D and render than you have to invest more, but still a 2060 or 2070 is more than enough.

In SOLIDWORKS do you crank up the settings to increase the quality of the STL? There are multiple levels of refinement, also in Blender you can use the option Shade smooth to helps things look less tessellated.

Hey Aryan ! I am a CAD steel detailer for around 9 months now, using Tekla Structures and AutoCAD. I had taken a SolidWorks class at my community college a few semesters back and now that I just found your channel I really believe I can actually become proficient using this program. I had a couple of questions if you could answer them. I am going to buy a subscription of the SolidWorks student version but I am unsure on whether to buy the cloud version or the desktop version. What would you recommend and do you happen to use 3DExperience? I think it's interesting, but I am not completely sure on which one to purchase. I was also wondering, would you happen to know if SolidWorks cloud version offers compatibility with MISUMI Rapid? Thank you for the video and I appreciate if you have the chance to check this comment out!

[@with-Aryan]

Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you find my channel helpful in becoming proficient in SolidWorks. As for your question, it really depends on your specific needs and preferences. The desktop version offers the advantage of being able to work offline, while the cloud version offers the advantage of being able to access your work from anywhere with an internet connection. I personally use the desktop version of SolidWorks, but I have worked with the 3DExperience platform in the past and it has some interesting features for collaboration and data management. As for compatibility with MISUMI Rapid, I am not sure about that specific feature, but SolidWorks has a wide range of compatible file formats, so it is worth checking with MISUMI Rapid to see if they offer a compatible format. I hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!

[@bikeninja956]

nice run down...I agree with it all. So I tried to learn ProE back in 2011 to be able to CAD model stuff for side projects. Spent a year on it, couldn't figure it out, interface sucked. Next tried Solidworks, within a few weeks I was modeling a dirt bike engine... going on 12+ years now, expert level modeler working full time as a design freelancer. I can model literally ANYTHING with that software. It's a massive package with many plug-ins available. Easy and intuitive to self learn... It can even be stretched to do "organic" stuff if you have the patience for it. I do have my eye on some of the new comers as you mentioned but once you're good with a CAD package that you like, just stick with it. No affiliation with them.

[@ShapeyFiend]

I do Building Services Engineering and Public Lighting Design as a sole trader. What I've found so far is in my industry is basic 2d autocad design is still almost exclusively what's used even though it's rather dated because clients aren't interested in paying for more detail. They just want work produced quickly as possible. The exception to this is more high end designs for Intel or server farms and things like that where good Revit skills are commanding a massive premium. There is some talk that all public work will have to be produced in Revit at some point which would probably be the thing drives more widespread adoption. Larger architects seem to mostly be switched over to Revit now but there are still plenty of smaller enterprises don't seem to use it at all.

[@with-Aryan]

It's interesting to hear about your experience in the Building Services Engineering and Public Lighting Design industry, and how basic 2D AutoCAD designs are still the norm for many clients. It's understandable that clients prioritize speed and cost-efficiency, but it's also important to consider the benefits of more detailed and sophisticated designs. It's exciting to hear about the potential for more widespread adoption of Revit, especially for public work, and how it's already in high demand for high-end designs. It seems that larger architects have already made the switch to Revit, but there's still room for smaller enterprises to catch up. Thank you for sharing your insights on this topic. It's always fascinating to hear about how different industries and technologies are evolving over time.

[@blueckaym]

Nice video that focuses on what usually brings people to such subject! I'm a hobbyist/freelancer myself, so I prefer cheapest or free options available. And here's one of the main troubles for many people (like me at least) that most companies use the free versions as a fish-hook to reel you in to their paid (and expensive) options ... or sometimes it's not even intentional, they are free, grow a big community, and then they are bought for cheap by a big company and the free versions and feats are brutally chopped or very limited. Also not being a CAD pro, I prefer not to spend dozens of hours just to learn new software - it (and the paid versions) are worth it if you can sell your work and it's an investment, but for hobbyists whatever software you start with you want it to be user-friendly and do your (admittedly not too complex) things as fast as possible. I personally think that I'll head towards FreeCAD, because of the free for commercial use, and the fact that it's open source license, so it'll be difficult for a big company to appropriate it in the future. I'm not yet familiar with FreeCAD so the ease of use and learning are still a big question for me. But I liked a lot your very first sentence - "You should only master one CAD software ..." :)

[@with-Aryan]

Thanks for your feedback! Cost and accessibility are important for hobbyists. FreeCAD is a good choice for its free and open-source nature. Mastering one CAD software is a common recommendation.

[@alerguezl]

I'm a mechanical engineer and have used inventor for quite some time and I'm thinking of changing to solidworks because I've always heard it's better. Does solidworks have options for drawings or mechanical studies like inventor nastran? and if so are they actually better or is it just a myth?

[@with-Aryan]

SolidWorks and Inventor are both highly capable 3D CAD software applications, but they each have their unique strengths and target audiences. Since you've mentioned you are a mechanical engineer and already have experience with Inventor, transitioning to SolidWorks could bring new opportunities and benefits depending on your specific requirements and tasks. To address your specific inquiries: Drawings: Both SolidWorks and Inventor have robust drawing capabilities. You can create 2D drawings from 3D models, add dimensions, annotations, BOMs, and more. While individual preferences may vary, many users find SolidWorks to have a more intuitive and flexible user interface for creating drawings. Mechanical Studies/Analyses: SolidWorks comes with built-in simulation capabilities like static, thermal, frequency, buckling, fatigue, etc. For more advanced analysis, SolidWorks Simulation, a separate add-on, is required. It's a capable tool but may not be as advanced as Autodesk Nastran, which has capabilities for nonlinear stress analysis, dynamics, and heat transfer, among other features. So, is SolidWorks actually better? That largely depends on the specific tasks you're performing, your personal preferences, and your work environment. SolidWorks is often praised for its user-friendly interface, powerful modeling tools, and wide industry acceptance. It's widely used in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace to consumer products, making skills in SolidWorks highly valuable. However, if your work heavily relies on the advanced simulation capabilities of Autodesk Nastran, you might want to thoroughly investigate whether SolidWorks (with or without the Simulation add-on) can fulfill your needs. The best course of action would be to trial SolidWorks for yourself, see how it fits into your workflow, and decide if the advantages it offers make it worthwhile for you to switch.

Yes, it's certainly possible to secure a position related to engineering with an Associate's degree in Computer-Aided Design (CAD). While you may not qualify for certain roles that require a full Bachelor's degree in Engineering, there are many roles where a strong understanding of CAD is highly valuable. Here are a few potential positions: CAD Technician or Drafter: These roles involve creating detailed 2D or 3D designs for engineering projects using CAD software. This could be in a variety of fields, such as mechanical, electrical, civil, or architectural engineering. Design Engineer: Some design engineer roles, particularly at the junior level, may be open to those with an Associate's degree in CAD. These roles often involve using CAD software to create and modify designs, as well as potentially assisting with product testing and problem-solving. CAD Manager: In larger organizations, a CAD Manager oversees the use of CAD software within the company, ensuring standards are met, providing training, and troubleshooting any issues. This role typically requires extensive experience with CAD. Engineering Technician: Engineering Technicians assist Engineers in applying designs and plans, often using CAD tools to do so. They might work in product testing, manufacturing, or maintenance. Product Development Assistant: In this role, you might assist in the development of new products, using CAD to create prototypes, make design adjustments, and prepare production drawings.

[@JohnDoe-cf8jz]

Another category is how hard is it to learn for the purpose. If you want a job in your chosen industry, go with the big boys, but I I don't want the hassle of learning such sophisticated programs and the UI such with Autodesk versions, Solidworks, Catia ect... I'm looking to upgrade my cad now and the three I'm looing at are MOI, SelfCAD and Plasticity. Which one I'l go for I have no idea yet, but all I'm saying is not everyone will need such hard to learn and expensive programs. Even with Tinkercad people have made lots of cool stuff, but yeah, that's a bit primitive even for me. PS: I think cloud based cad sucks, but that's obviously just my opinion.

[@with-Aryan]

It's a great point that not everyone may need to learn or use the more sophisticated CAD programs such as Autodesk versions, Solidworks, or Catia. It really depends on your industry and the specific requirements of the job. It's good to hear that you're researching and exploring other CAD options like MOI, SelfCAD, and Plasticity. It's important to find the right fit for your needs and preferences, and sometimes a less complex program can still produce great results. As for cloud-based CAD, it's understandable that it may not be for everyone. It has its pros and cons, and it really depends on factors such as internet connection, security concerns, and personal preferences. Ultimately, it's important to choose the CAD program that works best for your specific situation and needs.

I wish I watch this video before wasting months trying to learn blender and that's its really not an engineering software though it had added Cad sketches. And just few days ago I was thinking to learn Autodesk. And if my project needed Bio shape I just move the drawing to Blender. But this video gave me a perfect option which is solidworks.

I am student of Mechanical Engineering. I have student licence for SOLIDWORKS for free. I really love the software and want to start freelancing SOLIDWORKS something between engineering and organic. Problem is not that I am not financially able to get Standard licence. So what would you advise me to do or what to try?

[@with-Aryan]

It's great to hear that you love using SOLIDWORKS and are interested in freelancing with it! If you're just starting out, there are a few things you can try: Build your skills and portfolio: Take advantage of your student license to practice and improve your SOLIDWORKS skills. You can also start building a portfolio of your work to showcase your abilities and demonstrate your expertise to potential clients. Look for freelance opportunities: There are many websites and platforms that connect freelancers with clients who need SOLIDWORKS design work. Some examples include Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr. You can also reach out to local engineering firms or manufacturers to see if they need any freelance work done. Start small: When you're just starting out, it's a good idea to start with small projects and build up your experience and reputation. This can also help you build relationships with clients and get more work in the future. As for getting a Standard license, you may want to consider saving up or looking for opportunities to earn extra income to cover the cost. Alternatively, you can also consider using other CAD software that may be more affordable or offer free versions, such as Fusion 360 or Onshape. Ultimately, the key to successful freelancing is to continually build your skills and network, and to deliver high-quality work that meets the needs of your clients. Good luck on your freelancing journey!

I want to become a mechanical engineer and Im currently majoring in mechanical engineering in college. Right now Im doing community college and later i will transfer to a university.I herd that having a cad certification is helpful when you graduate. Should I try to earn my certification before i transfer to a university to study major?

[@with-Aryan]

Good day, CAD certifications are platform dependent thus if you plan to take them based on SOLIDWORKS you will have to pass the CSWA, CSWP, CSWE, etc. you can start learning and practicing as soon as possible, to give you more practice for the same.

[@quincy4340]

@@with-Aryan ok, thank you this helps a lot.

[@FrankensteinDIYkayak]

doing something very specialized? embedding info in the solid models and assemblies? choose the one which communicates with the software provider the least as they communicate with the software proovider as they vacuum up your keystrokes to come up with new commands. when that happens some other operator in a year or so then gets new commands to do with ease what you spent good time doing but at a lower salary. find a way to block the info flow to the borg.

[@with-Aryan]

Its inevitable that technology will keep getting better, and efficiency is the only thing that companies plan to raise each year, talk about new features like Double Mirror, 3D textures, drag and drop appearances etc, time savers for sure.

[@FrankensteinDIYkayak]

thats just productivity on the CAD end. prooductivity increases on factory floor is what matters. some customers of manufactures demand a certain percentage every year. @@with-Aryan

[@Turkish_Vanilla]

Just curious: On a cloud software (for example Solidworks), the provider (even if they say "no we don't"), could still watch and see the whole modelling process you are working on, your files, your subdirectories, your project notes etc. and even everything you do on the window of your active browser. Correct me if I am wrong! Thanks in advance!

[@with-Aryan]

I would ask this for you. But let's assume they can. Why would they do that? If you are the owner and have thousands or millions of users, why would you want to check on so many projects? do you even have the resource? And what would you want to gain from it?

[@Turkish_Vanilla]

@@with-Aryan No need to spy on thousands of companies.. Focusing only the top 100 world wide is already a good place to start spying.. Think of Samsung teams designing a better hinge on Solidworks cloud .. Think of Elon Musk teams designing a much more efficient rocket on this.. Think of all the similar top secret projects using these kind of cloud software.. And let's say any rival organisation with deep pockets knocks the door of Solidworks.. Just saying... and therefore I am highly suspicious when it comes to working on cloud services.. Not only for Solidworks in particular but all cloud services whether it is Microsoft or Apple or any other X brand company.. Can we trust them?

[@iokarii]

On cloud: totally agree, you do not have any real justification, that nobody unauthorized will steal, review etc your work..maybe, if you have strong encryption and keys are not hold out of cloud.. What reason? Easy, isn't it... You can not be naive.. Industrial espionage.. Very convenient, especially, nobody in future can catch you.. Goverment can ask you to forward these data.. Some well known "states" could have this practice😉. Further: huge risk dependency on cloud.. You are not dependent in life enough? Want to add another dependency? By your will? One day cloud says: ok, in your company work too many people with blue eyes, and no longer is cloud available.. End.. You can complain with your contract, etc.. No help.. Unrealistic scenario? Really, word of "sanctions" is presently fashion... 😉 And it happen, and will happen in future, law is bended and cloud be used as leverage.. So go on: unpredictable rize of prices per cloud, or not supporting certain functions anymore, hackers attack on cloud.. Etc.. Yes cloud has advantages, but bigger risks.. Only naive people can not see it...

What can you possibly do with Catia that you cannot do with solidworks/fusion360?

[@BrianRhodes9763]

I've been a Mechanical Design Engineer in the aviation industry for almost 11 years. I've used AutoCAD, Solidworks and CATIA 3DX & V5. When it comes to solid modeling CATIA and SW are similar in that they are both sketch based, they just have different ways of doing the same thing. However, when it comes to surfacing CATIA is King. CATIA is also great for working in large assemblies as in a section of an aircraft, SW starts to bog down if the assembly gets too big.

You can see two of their rafts used in the movie Castaway where Tom Hanks tries to leave the island in an inflatable raft.

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide assistance with installing or using cracked software. Cracked software is illegal and can pose serious risks to your computer's security and stability. It's important to always use legitimate, licensed software to ensure that you have access to technical support, updates, and security patches, and to avoid potential legal consequences.
