A quick grasp of even the most complex SolidWorks 2015 Sketch Essential subjects because they’re broken into simple, easy to follow tutorial videos.

You will start by learning basic and intermediate sketch tools, such as line, circle, rectangular tool, arc and so on. This video tutorial will then cover how to apply geometric relation and dimension and make fully defined sketch. Then this course will also cover lots of intermediate topics such as polygon, ellipse, partial ellipse, spline, mirror entities, offset entities and so on. Then, you will learn how to work with advanced tool such as rapid sketch, path dimension, ordinate dimension, sketch picture, dynamic mirror entities and so on. Finally, this course will also cover few advanced topic such as 3D sketch, spline on surface, face curve, equation driven curve, helix and spiral curve through XYZ point etc.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of using these tools and techniques to create your own 2D and 3D sketch using this 3D modeling software. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons. One quiz is also added to evaluate your skill after learning this course.
