SolidWorks is a 3D parametric design software that is used to design all sorts of products such as automobiles, marine equipment, airplane parts, cell phones, cameras, furniture, electrical assemblies, glasses, lighting fixtures, toys, vacuum cleaners, or any other like product you can think of. SolidWorks is typically used to design assemblies that work mechanically that are typically less than 200 parts.Â

Pattern Feature (Process)
Pattern Feature (Process)
In this lesson, you learn how to create a linear pattern and a circular pattern. A linear pattern is a one- or two-dimensional array of features. A circular pattern is a circular array of features.
The steps include:
Creating an oblong cut
Creating a linear pattern
Creating a circular pattern
Using an equation to drive the circular pattern
Making of the part
Making of the part
Sketch cut
Linear pattern cut
Circular pattern the linear pattern
Creation of the equation

Step 1: Create Wheel and Cut
Step 2: Use linear pattern to create dowels
Step 3: Extrude dowels
Step 4: Use circular pattern to distribute the dowels
Step 5: Equation

Loft Features (Process)
Loft Features (Process)
Loft Features
A loft is a base, boss, or cut created by connecting multiple cross sections, or profiles.
This lesson demonstrates the following:
Creating planes
Sketching, copying, and pasting the profiles
Creating a solid by connecting the profiles (lofting)
Adding a flex feature to bend the model
Step 1: Making the planes
Step 1: Making the planes
Step 2: Draw two circles and square, then loft
Step 3: Make far plane
Step 4: Draw thin rectangle and loft
Step 5: Flex

Mouse Gestures
Mouse Gestures
In this tutorial, after customizing mouse gestures, you perform the following tasks with mouse gestures to create a simple part:
Start a sketch for a part.
Sketch a rectangle and a circle.
Save the sketch.
Dimension the sketch.
Extrude the sketch.
Change the view of an extruded part
Sketch being dimensioned and extruded
Using mouse gestures
Made using mouse gestures only
