Greetings everyone,

Has anyone ever used or heard of the online SolidWorks tutorials offered by ww.myigetit.com ?

http://www.myigetit.com/vault/...o.aspx?menuid=2&id=15

I'm an old AutoCad user who was thrown into SolidWorks to develop medical instruments. I've been training on my own using the provided SolidWorks tutorials and others I have found on the internet. I've struggled through a lot of the software through trail and error and just plain sticking to it till I get it right. I've analyzed others models and assemblies and learn how they were created and use the info for my own. I feel like I am doing well in the learning process but I think that more online training would be of great benefit.

I appreciate any and all opinions on this subject.

Chris

Chris,

I am of course very biased in regards to some other Online SolidWorks training because I do offer Online Training myself. When I set out to develop Video based training I did so because I felt there was a lack of training that had structure to it. So that being said, the training you choose will largely depend on what you are looking for. In my opinion the Training I have seen from IGETIT is good, but lacks structure so as a new user you are some what left on your own to determine where to start.

I hope this is a help,

AL

  Al,
  
  This is just the type of feedback I was looking for. I currently have your website up and will look it over throughly as soon as I can. I'm sure I will have lots of questions for you. I'm loooking for the best online training that will work for me. My company will reimburse me.
  
  Thank you for your response,
  
  Chris

    If you give me your email address, I can send you on some useful files.
    
    I am currently doing the igetit course and it's good although as Chris says, somewhat "lacks structure" particularly for a novice (although by the sounds of things you're a quick learner - going through model history is a great way to learn).

      I've found igetit to be a good resource. It is a bit free form, but, if you want to figure out how to perform a specific task, it's easy enough to find it as needed.

      Phil,
      
      Thanks for the insight into igetit. If the igetit tutorials are better than the ones that come with SolidWorks then it will be well worth the money. I found the Solidworks tutorials seem to be written from a standpoint of already knowing a lot about the software. My AutoCAD background was the only way I was able to complete some of them, because there seem to be some missing instructions.

      I appreciate it,

        Michael,
        
        Thanks for the info but as a parent with a disabled spouse I can and will only do online training. I've already learned so much from internet sources and online course.
        
        Thanks,

  Hi Tim,
  
  Well, instead of sweeping I'm now lofting. The sweep was driving me crazy. You just have to use an underdefined sketch as far as I can see even though I copied the sketch setup of the igetit model exactly. I felt really dumb doing it and still getting it wrong. Haha
  
  Where can Matt's 2007 book be got?
