What you'll learn

  • Apply essential SOLIDWORKS tools such as Extruded Boss/Base, Extruded Cut, Revolved Boss/Base, and Revolved Cut in practical scenarios
  • Strengthen your understanding of core modeling techniques through guided exercises
  • Develop a structured approach to solving design problems in SOLIDWORKS
  • Assess your current skill level and identify areas for improvement
  • Build confidence in using SOLIDWORKS for everyday design tasks
  • Prepare for more advanced topics like simulation, drawings, and certification-level modeling
  • Learn how to approach and analyze SOLIDWORKS exercises independently before reviewing guided solutions

Course content

2 sections • 10 lectures • 50m total length

  • Introduction0:54

    Practice your SOLIDWORKS skills with official CS/Associate test questions, download the question package, solve each item, and watch walkthrough videos for every question.

  • Question 1 - 21:49

    Identify SOLIDWORKS drawing view types such as crop view and broken out section view while sketching a spline, and prepare for exam questions on drafting competencies.

  • Questions 314:02

    model a SolidWorks part from a drawing, extrude by c, add holes and mass properties for AISI 1020 steel, and compare masses after adjusting parameters A, B, and C.

  • Question 42:48

    Modify the SolidWorks part by changing A, B, and C while keeping unit system, origin, and material the same, then compute the mass in grams with Mass Properties and save.

  • Question 59:44

    Modify part from the previous question in solidworks by changing A, B, and C, and adding curved, side, bottom cuts, and a hole. Calculate the mass from mass properties.

  • Question 64:44

    Modify a prior SolidWorks model by adding a single pocket on one side using offset and extruded cut. Convert entities and trim sketch, then verify mass properties show 432.58 g.

  • Question 711:09

    Assemble pins and chain link in SolidWorks and align to the origin. Create a coordinate system and calculate the center of mass using mass properties.

  • Question 82:35

    Modify a SolidWorks assembly by adjusting mates for angles A, B, and C, then evaluate mass properties to determine the center of mass in the relative coordinate system.

Requirements

  • Access to SOLIDWORKS

Description

Welcome to Hands-On SOLIDWORKS: Practice Your Way to Proficiency — a practical, exercise-driven course designed to help you strengthen your core modeling skills through a curated set of real-world SOLIDWORKS challenges.


Whether you're just getting comfortable with the software or looking to brush up on the essentials, this course is here to support your journey in a hands-on, engaging way.


You’ll work through a series of exercises focused on essential SOLIDWORKS tools like extruded features, revolved shapes, lofted features, drawings, and more. — all foundational elements that every SOLIDWORKS user should feel confident using.


Each exercise is designed to challenge you just enough to help you grow. You’re encouraged to try solving the problems on your own first, then follow along with the guided walkthroughs to compare approaches and deepen your understanding. It’s a great way to assess your current level and figure out where to go next.


This course is ideal for learners who already have some familiarity with SOLIDWORKS and want to sharpen their skills through structured practice. If you’re preparing for certification, working on personal projects, or just want to get better at using the software, you’ll find real value here.


By the end of the course, you’ll have a clearer sense of your strengths, areas for improvement, and a roadmap for what to explore next — whether that’s advanced modeling, simulation, drawings, or certification prep.


About the Instructor

I'm Tayseer Almattar — author of the Learn SOLIDWORKS books published by Packt and founder of TforDesign. I’ve been using SOLIDWORKS for nearly two decades and have spent over ten years helping others learn it. I’m also a SOLIDWORKS Champion and the User Group Leader for Hong Kong.

It’s been a pleasure to be part of your learning journey. Let’s keep learning and growing together — and I look forward to seeing you in the next course!

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner to intermediate SOLIDWORKS users who want to reinforce their knowledge of essential tools
  • Students or professionals preparing for SOLIDWORKS certification exams
  • Designers, engineers, or hobbyists looking to build confidence and fluency in everyday modeling tasks
  • Anyone who prefers a practice-first approach to learning and wants to assess their current skill level before moving on to more advanced topics
