The instructions include graphics and dialog images detailing each step of the process. Special attention is placed on the parametric capabilities so that changes to the part such as a material thickness or bend radius will not affect the design intent.
This tutorial takes a new or experienced user through the complete process of creating the part. has published a new tutorial emphasizing the sheet metal command functionality of SolidWorks. Milford, OH, OctoApplied Production, Inc.
