SOLIDWORKS SOLIDPractices Documents Now Available

Everyone who uses SOLIDWORKS wants to know that they are modeling in the best manner to get the best performance out of their system. We are constantly asked what are the best practices that we should be following. This can be a very loaded question because there are so many moving components that often come into play for each company. The best practices for one company may not always be the best practices for another company.

With that being said, SOLIDWORKS has now made their best practice guides available to all subscription paying customers. These guides have been developed from years of experience of many techs. The first documents can now be found in the SOLIDWORKS knowledge base. Any user on subscription can log into the SOLIDWORKS customer portal to access the SOLIDWORKS knowledge base.

The topics are as follows:

Mechanical Design

Managing SOLIDWORKS Upgrades [S-076254]
