Foreword
The main objective of these tutorials is to give you a kick start using SolidWorks. The approach to
write this tutorial is based on what is the most important knowledge you should know and what is
commonly tool used. You will learn step by step by working on it. These tutorials will teach you
the basic skills of using Solidworks in your daily design works. Even this tutorials didnt have full
explanations of tools that Solidworks have but dont worry you will master it along the way, as I
did.
If you have any questions about these tutorials, drop your mail to
