SOLIDWORKS 2020 Basic Tools

SOLIDWORKS 2020 Basic Tools: Getting started with Parts, Assemblies and Drawings is a textbook designed for beginners who are unfamiliar with the SOLIDWORKS program and its add-ins. As the first volume of a three-part series, the text introduces new users to the interface, core tools, and basic modeling workflows.

The volume focuses on three primary disciplines: creating solid parts, constructing assemblies, and generating technical drawings. Lessons examine fundamental techniques such as extrude options, bottom-up assembly workflows, and standard drawing views.

Every lesson and exercise is developed from real-world projects presented through step-by-step instructions. Self-test questionnaires conclude each chapter to help learners evaluate their comprehension before proceeding to more advanced lessons.
