Hello guys I open this new discussion to help who like me wants to learn this program well. I am a technical neo-diplomato industrial mechanical address (70/100 :'((((((((() where I learned 2d autocad but as we well know to work companies also want the ability to programs like solidworks. I would like to learn everything from self-taught and now I am going to finish all internal tutorials (maybe several times to memorize the commands better) and I would like to know what is the next step to do.
 
solidworks is a very vast program, very difficult to learn 100%.
most people have basic knowledge and then learn the modules they need. for example sheets, moulds, etc.
as you graduated, it would be good to practice in some study and learn from them.
If you want to improve yourself, while you are looking for work, then try to develop something concrete, finding your limits and trying to overcome them. and simultaneously watch videos (youtube them for example) on how others work.
 
Well, to get into some studios, they want the knowledge of the program. However the title was to attract people also because no one knows how to use it at 100 %, as you well said one specializes on the basis of work. However when do you think I can insert this program in the curriculum? for now I finish the internal tutorials .
 
If you can console me, as soon as I graduate I did the tutorials and then I looked for work. in the cv I included the "basic" knowledge of the software.
Clearly, whoever hires you can't teach you everything, but true is that only using it you can really learn.
I have taken it back in my hand in these months after years of " fasting" and still today I find useful features.
 
ok perfect . so now I finish the internal tutorials and then I will continue the topic to help me and other neophytes in learning this program .
 
I came to the sheet tutorial and I got stuck because it doesn't mirror right. said this I close this parentheses saying that I go ahead with the tutorials but I have as the feeling of forgetting the past things or not..
 
solidworks can be learned from self-taught. . But for those who have time, want and money would be better a course.
so to new graduates or for those who are still studying,I recommend a specialized course of software.
for those who already work with sw in the company, well if the elder passes it, do the course!
and cmq...
everything is to understand what you will need sw and what you will have to develop on it.

the basic rule is at least to have knowledge of geometric terms and the abc of mechanics.
see the term hillside. . .

If you don't have to do great things, like designing us over a spaceship with explulsion capsule, then with a bit of desire, knowledge and commitment, you can get to learn sw at a discreet level that will allow you to work on it in total tranqullility.

If you are going to enter the aisle with the purpose of becoming a spacecraft designer with the task of inventing a new spacecraft that will have to cross the universe at the speed of light...., well then I recommend you to spend money and to do the courses!
 
no nasa, I asked for advice on memorizing things best. as I said before I came to the tutorial on the sheets say I didn't forget the other tutorials but I feel like I forgot something
 
there are thousands of videos and courses (also in English) to know the various commands. There's shit!
 
store things?

You've never worked five minutes.

Are you worried about memorizing? I'd be worried about learning. . .
the memorization of the commands will therefore come with hours and hours of work.

Do you know why sarcasically I wrote to you "you see you have never worked five minutes" ...? ? ? ?

Why try to imagine using sw for 6 days on 7 ...8 hours a day...for every holy day. . .

If you don't have any problems celebrating them. . .you will save the commands without problems, simply working on it!...
Maybe sometimes you can dream of them at night.

so exclude from your list of priorities the "memorize things" ..
Today you don't remember anything, because the commands are many but above all because you don't work on it!

with the tutorials do you think you can present yourself to a possible job interview, ready and capable as a technical designer who has worked on us for 5 years 8 hours every day? . . .
I'm sorry to disappoint you. . .

with learning tutorials you and no,the basics to move and start pulling a few lines!
but from them to design or draw a piece in total autonomy, it passes of time!

and who looks for such a figure in a student just out of school.... You'll have to wait for him for a long time.

In addition, a technician with years of experience must be employed. !

People with common sense, they know they have to join you.
you learn the basics... learn the terms...the rest will do the practice and your good will. !
 
good day I am new in this forum.
I am unemployed and reading work announcements would be useful to know (at least superficially) solidworks.
on the net I found some material I started reading but I should practice on the sw.
you might suggest where to find him.. .even trial... in time... not brand new... Something with here to work for a flourishing.
a flourishing that will allow me to add solidworks as known sw ( superficially) in my resume.
Thank you.
 
I also learned it from self-taught, and I assure you that the tutorials are really useful. then made an idea of what you would like to design and from good industrial technician also uses the manual of mechanics to understand the names of the components, the characteristics of the materials, various types of mechanical union etc.
then choose an object or rather a simple mechanism and start designing it. do not stop drawing your mechanism, go ahead and show a dimensioning, a dynamic analysis, a cost assessment (although very spannometric, as it has never worked on the field it is difficult to have an idea) setting a calculation system.

p.s. learns to dimensional welds, bolts, wrenches, trees and beams.
here you will say that there are so many things, but without a precise purpose the field is infinite.
or choose a field look at the products of a company and try to copy them, even rudimentaryly.
 
even if they are not solidworks user, the speech is much wider at all cad:

-the commands do not memorize, but they learn in all their potential, also because among the various editions of the programs, often the graphic interfaces change.
- for all employers it is important that the newly hired knows the interface of the program, then to specialize in the one most requested by the company, it is a matter of time that all employers, take into account for new recruits
-the experience in use is definitely better than all the courses that one can have done, the course shows you what a given command does, but knowing how to use it 100% means having applied it many times.
- to specialize on a single cad, it is good if it is widespread in the area where work is located, to be a superior modeler, you must have seen more cad and more fields of modeling.
 
pluralsight, udemy, infiniteskills, lynda, blah blah ... se capisci l'inglese le risorse su swx sono infinite ;)
