There are more than 600 training lessons available. The MySOLIDWORKS Training portal even has example files available so you can follow along.

The point here is there’s a lot of expertise on staff at any reseller, and that makes them a great resource for learning SOLIDWORKS. Some AEs wear all those hats, while others focus on certain things. However, there’s more to the resellers than just the AEs – there are product specialists, tech support engineers and instructors. You may have a great working relationship with your local Application Engineer. Your reseller is another great resource for training and content. In my opinion, if you were going to use just one resource on this list, it should be the 3DEXPERIENCE World recordings. You can learn about anything from drawing templates to surface modeling and even large assembly tips and tricks. Then just sit back and watch the recorded presentation. You can search for a topic or presenter, as well as filter for specific categories and products, so it’s easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. You are guaranteed to find some of the best content anywhere. Now you can go through the nearly 400 presentations at your convenience. All you need is a username and you can have access to the presentation materials (as PowerPoints or PDFs) as well as the recording of the presentation-all for free. Luckily, all the sessions are recorded and posted online. If you attend the conference, you can realistically attend about a dozen or so of the break-out sessions out of the hundreds that are available. As you can imagine, when you get 6,000 of these like-minded people together there’s a lot of great conversations and content available. The event is so much more than just a user conference – it’s the foremost gathering of the SOLIDWORKS Community including users, industry partners, resellers and employees.
