Many of you are now working from home, which brings with it unique challenges as I am sure many of you are currently experiencing. Here at SOLIDWORKS we have asked ourselves what we could do to help all of you struggling with this upheaval. Last week, we showed you how to use SOLIDWORKS at home in\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/39ibC9k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this blog<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>so be sure and read that.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure you have seen on social media that many are embarking on fitness challenges to stay healthy and busy. But what about exercising your brain? Anyone interested in trying out some good design-related mental calisthenics?
