Learn how to use SolidWorks 2017 professionally. The SolidWorks 2017: Professional Modeling course shows you practical ways of creating expert level models. Learn the basics through advanced concepts while you practice each step. It's the easiest way to learn.

You start with this course whether you're a beginner or advanced user. Beginners will learn a structured practice while advanced users will unlearn bad habits. By the time you're finished you'll be ready for advanced topics discussed in later courses.

The course begins with an introduction to sketches and gives you a tour of the user interface. You'll practice applying automatic and inferred relations and you'll learn how they differ. Ultimately you'll understand how to fully constrain your sketches and learn why this is important.

Once you've setup your part template you'll begin working with sketches and simple feature commands. Sketches are used to create closed profiles that feature commands use to make features. So a sketch can contain a circle, for example, and a feature command can extrude the circle into a cylinder.

After your brief introduction to sketches you'll begin working with standard commands like Extrude and Revolve. You'll practice using these commands while gaining a footing for best practices.

Your training continues to more advanced commands like Linear Patterns, but you'll also learn that you can evoke these commands from either the modeling or sketch environments. Which environment you use will determine the ease of editing your parts later. You will learn the fastest way to use these commands as well as the fastest methods of using all the modeling commands.

Sweeps are covered in detail. You'll practice adding guide curves to sweeps to create complex shapes. You'll also learn how to setup guide curves to get different and unexpected results. Once you've explored all facets of the Sweep command you're ready to learn other advanced commands like Loft and the Hole Wizard. Each step of the way you'll use best practices and sound procedures.

Lofts can also use guide curves and they're subject to twist. You'll practice changing the directions of loft twist as well as influencing the effect of guide cures. You'll also compare Sweeps to Lofts and explore when one command would be used instead of the other.

You'll practice working with 3D sketches and learn details about how to control and fully define sketch geometry. You'll also learn how to control spines in both 2D and 3D sketches.

Common plastic commands are also taught like Mounting Bosses, Boss Fins, and Rib Matrices. You'll practice adding draft and use advanced methods of working with plastic parts.

Once you've used the commands long enough to feel comfortable in the part modeling environment you'll learn how to customize it. You'll learn how to setup shortcut keys and Mouse Gestures to help streamline your work and make evoking your favorite commands as quick as possible.

You'll also learn how to use complex commands like the Boundary command to create complex features. The Dome command is covered in detail as well as Embossing and Engraving.

The main focus of the course is to teach sound practices and procedures that speed your work and improve your accuracy. This course is packed with tips and tricks that will make you an advanced modeler.
