Top SOLIDWORKS Enhancements over the past 10 years
Are you using the newest version of SOLIDWORKS as it is intended to be used? Or are you using the newest version as if it were still an old version?
Over the last decade SOLIDWORKS software has added thousands of pieces of new functionality. There are so many awesome features added every year it can be overwhelming trying to integrate all of them into your modeling techniques. We often get too comfortable using tools a certain way even if it means a loss of productivity. In this tips and tricks presentation we will highlight some of the coolest SOLIDWORKS enhancements over the last decade and make sure you are taking advantage of them. We will also examine some of those tiny check boxes in a feature’s property manager and the powerful options they provide. This presentation will provide tips, tricks, and reminders on how to use SOLIDWORKS most efficiently.
Presenter: David Janicki, Elite Application Engineer, Computer Aided Technology
