I have been using solid works for abot 80 hours. I finished a DSM Engineering book of a 9 volt flash light, I will post some e\-drawings later. I currently do executive furniture for Andrew Gower andrewgowerdesign.com. I have figured out complex lofts (multiple shaps on offset planes) and how to use a guide curve on these lofts, can any one point me at a book or a tutorial that shows the next step, specifically how to work faster with splines.... and multiple guide curves.
I love the train and the guild work.
Did ya know? You can customize nearly ever singe button with its own shortcut by going to tools- customize- keyboard... Shortcuts for zoom-to feature and extrude really speed upt the work flow, and save your blank screen as a template, always start with the template and save it as a part with a new name later...
peace.
