This training blog post will focus on MySolidWorks sessions related to SOLIDWORKS Mechanical Conceptual (SWMC). SWMC is a collaborative design environment that enables design teams, customers, and suppliers to communicate, collaborate, and develop products whenever they want and wherever they are located. SWMC provides design teams with the flexibility and intuitive workflows to create true to life models that result in a better understanding of how products will behave in the real world.

Currently, MySolidWorks Training offers five SWMC sessions available to all registered users at no cost. These training modules include:

Sketch Booleans

Sketch Booleans can be generated from the addition, subtraction, or intersection of overlapping sketch objects. The original geometry used in creating the sketch Boolean is retained in the design tree and can be shown in the work area. Sketch Booleans can also be removed to return to the original geometry.
