Hello, I'm changing jobs (I'm preparing a training course as a technician in industrial design in mechanics, I use catia solidwork and a little autocad but I have serious problems because I've never done industrial design and it causes me problems
Thank you for your help

Hello
If you know how to make your parts in 3d as if you were manufacturing and the same for drawings, there should be no problem. You just have to think as if the person who was going to make the part according to your plan knows nothing about it. After the design is learned as well as the implementation of tolerances according to the needs of the part.
Hello
I understand your problem but it's not going to be easy to explain all the drawing rules to you through a forum.
You can already start by buying André Chevalier's "industrial designer's guide", the slightly older versions insisted a little more on the layout and the drawing standards than the latest versions but I say this because mine dates from 1987 and I have a hard time finding my way around in the other version from 2004 that I have.
And then it's practice with 1 ruler, 1 square, 1 compass, 1 protractor and 1 pencil....
Kind regards
Hello
If you want to do surface with Catia, I could send you a course that we take at my school.
Have a nice day
It would be interesting to know what your current education/experience is, how were you trained in software.
There are 2 aspects to your reconversion:
- the flat part;
- the design part.
The flat part is quite simple to acquire, the design part is very extensive.
Hello
On YouTube you can find everything you want to learn the basics of industrial design.

Hello Philippe,
I understand that it's difficult to learn a new profession, especially when the skills are as varied as the industrial design...
Could you tell us what kind of advice you expect and what you want to know.... Could you also tell us if your training is towards a specific field and if it is general?
What is your original training and what was your position until then?

@stefbeno : I don't totally agree on how easy it is to make a plan. Between throwing dimensions to make a prototype and being at the mm in terms of tolerance or coming up with a plan for a production of thousands/millions of parts per year it still requires a certain knowledge of ISO GPS.
Of course, it can be learned, but it's still a job (just like design according to the production technologies).

Hello
thank you for the answers
I have never done industrial design and if you have tutorials or examples to help me get started I thank you all
Kind regards
