SOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson 9:External References – Copy with Mates
Engineering students need to understand how to create assemblies using a bottom – up design approach, a top – down design approach or combination of both. Use SOLIDWORKS xDesign to understand how external references are created when inserting a new component. Enhance working proficiency with copy with mates using components not in a pattern. Utilize a collaborative space so students just don’t loose their data in the cloud.
