What's the magic clue to solidworks? I've been at it almost everyday for 2 years and I'm still spending more time struggling with it than being productive. Right now I'm wasting time trying to increase the size of a circle in a sketch, and everything I try just turns it into a mess of lines. Should I be turning off auto relations? They seem to be more burden than they're worth. Even if I get the sketch to work when I get to the features I run into a whole new world of struggles. There's more things to consider in SW than there are grains of sand in all the beaches in the world combined, and I have no idea how anybody can become proficent in this.
