Solidworks Re-Establishment After Creo

Hello young and old!

 

After a long period without using Solidworks (6 years of Creo.... and yes, it leaves traces!) Do you have any tips/advice to get back to Solidworks quickly?

I know that it's a very intuitive software and that I was able to do pretty much what I wanted with it. But I admit that if I could avoid stumbling too much in the first few days, it would be very cool:)

Hi @coin37coin,

Welcome back to us, no doubt you'll get back into the swing of things very quickly.

Solidworks has changed very little since then and nothing dazzling to be honest.

The easiest way for you is to reform yourself in my opinion by quickly rediscovering the functions.

No tutorial will really be adapted to your future position. And since you already have the basics.

And if you want to look for the new 2022-21-20 news... to find out what you've been missing since.

For me not much ;-)

I'll do the tutorials integrated into SW, it allows you to find the basics easily (especially the icons that have changed color/drawing/place).
Being used to CAD and already knowing SW, it is done in half a day.

Browsing the Whatsnew files of the versions you skipped allows you to know what's new on the specific functions you're interested in (especially if you need a bit of a specialized function).
