Using Basic 3D Command Combinations to Create Complex Models - Part 2
CAD applications like ProE and Solidworks as well as many others have extensive complex functions such as sweeps and surface functions that can be used to create objects such as auto body parts and other thin surfaces. Another method of creating these complex models is to use simple features.

Design Optimization - Tips and Tricks
As a Mechanical Engineer, I often get asked to design complex and unique models for various applications. Regardless of what is being designed, the overall task remains the same - starting with an initial sketch and turning it into a complex part for the specific function. How we arrive at the re...

SW2008 Advanced Sketch Features – Part III – Offset Entities
When you are creating sketches in SW2008, you should not only take full advantage of sketch dimensioning, relations etc. – but also may use more advanced features. One of such features in SolidWorks is “offset” – using the previously created contour/line to define your sketch.
