How did you learn SolidWorks?

November 18th, 2009

In a previous article, I recently asked for the opinions of others about the best methods to train new employees for SolidWorks.  So far, the response is split between “on the job training with a mentor” and “VAR taught introductory courses”.  This is a bit of a surprize given the emphasis placed on VAR based training these days.   Do others question of the value of VAR training?  Is it effective?  Or, is VAR training just not worth the costs or the time away from work?  My own experience is that VAR training classes do not necessarily give the best benefit to new users.

The responses made me curious about something else.  How did current SolidWorks users learn the software?

How did you first learn the SolidWorks application? (Pick the primary method)

    Was taught the basics of solid modelling in a short university module, taught myself the rest.

    Never took any trainings for 3d software. Most of them are self taught and then to update my self and keep learning more, software forums/groups are the best places.
