Solidworks Tutorials by SolidProfessor

[achen]

SolidProfessor makes multimedia tutorials for Solidworks. They just released a set of SolidWorks tutorials for people switching out of AutoCAD which I found really helpful. Here are the links:

Good stuff. At my last place of employment i suggested SolidProfessor to the Junior Designers who were clueless on PDM usage. They never went through with it though.....

The problem with on site training classes is that people can't learn at their own pace. Solidprofessor is providing the solution to that problem.

i agree but i'd much rather learn on-site that way i can BOMBARD the experts with questions.
