Introduction To Solidworks Apr 2026

SolidWorks operates through three primary document types that work together to create a complete design:

Getting started in SolidWorks typically follows a standard sequence: Introduction to SolidWorks

: Combinations of parts that are constrained to each other to show how a product fits together and functions. Introduction to SolidWorks

: You turn 2D sketches into 3D geometry using features like Extruded Boss/Base (adding material) or Extruded Cut (removing material). Introduction to SolidWorks

: Adding geometric relations (like horizontal or vertical) and dimensions ensures your sketch is "fully defined" and accurate for production.

: The basic building blocks. These are individual 3D objects created from 2D sketches.
