Chapter 1Introducing SolidWorks
In SolidWorks, you build 3D parts from a series of simple 2D sketches and features such as extrude, revolve, fillets, cuts, and holes, among others. You can put the parts together into assemblies. You can then create 2D drawings from the 3D parts and assemblies.
This chapter will familiarize you with some of the basic concepts employed by SolidWorks.
