Session Abstract

Work smarter, not harder with these SOLIDWORKS best practices. Do your drawings take a long time to save? Do your files ever act weird or fail to open (file corruption)? Do you use color to make your detailing stand out on drawings? Do your sheet metal drawings ever misbehave? Do you restart your computer instead of just shutting it down every night, or putting it to sleep? Do you work with imported geometry? We'll address these issues and more, using best practices learned over eight years of SOLIDWORKS tech support and twelve years of using SOLIDWORKS in the work force.
