Warning! Warning! Error! Error! In this session you will learn how to keep your cool when your sketch is unsolvable, your dimensions are dangling, your parts and assemblies are full of red circles and yellow triangles and you’re at the end of your rope.

Want to take your drawing creation to the next level and make it easier and faster at the same time? Learn basic to advanced functionality in the SolidWorks drawing interface including many unknown features and tips and tricks.

With CircuitWorks, included in SolidWorks Premium, you can build accurate SolidWorks assemblies from circuit boards and their components. This session will show you how CircuitWorks lets you create 3D models from the file formats written by most electrical computer-aided design (ECAD) systems. Electrical and mechanical engineers can collaborate to design printed circuit boards (PCBs) that fit and function in SolidWorks assemblies.

Impress your boss, add pizzazz to your models. Learn the how, what,  when and where of adding color, texture and materials to your models.

Are you responsible for managing your company’s SolidWorks installations, workstations, all the while keeping peace with the SolidWorks operators? We could spend 6 hours talking on this subject but will try to boil it down to an hour and a half of things you absolutely must know to be an effective CAD manager, including workstation configuration, license management, best practices and much more.

If you design molds for plastic parts or design plastic parts and want gain an understanding of mold creation, don’t miss this one! SolidWorks mold tools allow you to create a mold using a sequence of integrated tools spanning from initial analysis of the part to be molded to creating the tooling split. The result of the tooling split is a multi-body part containing separate bodies for the molded part, the core, and the cavity, plus other optional bodies such as side cores. The multi-body part file maintains your design intent in one convenient location. Changes to the molded part are automatically reflected in the tooling bodies.
