SolidWorks Reboot (2 days)
An accelerated and abridged Essentials course, plus extra content, tailored to the SolidWorks user who wishes to “fill in the gaps” or update his or her skills. Perfect for self-taught SolidWorks users, or people who took Essentials several years/versions ago. Instruction focuses on getting the most out of the user interface, customization, capturing design intent, successful editing techniques, and deeper understanding of common functionality. An excellent prerequisite as a refresher before any of the various advanced classes.
Prerequisite: Prior SolidWorks experience.

SolidWorks File Management (1 day)
A detailed treatment of how part, assembly, and drawing files interrelate, including common misconceptions and best practices for saving, opening, moving, renaming, and backing up SolidWorks files. Very important for all SolidWorks users to understand, whether they are using PDM software or not. This is a good prerequisite foundation to have before taking either of the EPDM courses.
Prerequisite: SolidWorks QuickStart or Essentials.
