Hello

Where can I find the best free collection of video tutorials for learning SWX 2020?

- I don't want to learn any previous versions of SWX (just v2020)
- I don't want to have to read too much, instead I want to see videos. (I am rather dyslexic)
- I want videos that move at a reasonable speed. (I am in a hurry)
- I want to be shown each feature just once.

- I only want to be shown the basics of SWX - please don't clutter my mind with advanced features... not just yet.

Background:
My reseller in the UK has loads of videos but I can't get them to play at all. (Their site is dog-slow, which won't be helping). I am a SWX novice but I know OnShape moderately well.

With thanks

e.g. Right now when I view my assembly in "Hidden Lines Removed" mode I have one part which keeps disappearing and turning into very pale purple lines. I can get it to reappear but clicking on the part ==> Change Transparency.
I'm sure it'll be something basic.

No one else has this question

That sounds a lot like a VAR Solidworks Essentials class...

If you want video led learning then go to my.solidworks.com and click on their training material...You may have to pay to access what you are looking for. There's also Solidprofessor.com (which also costs money).

I don't think you'll find anything that'll meet your requirements for free.

Have you given the built-in tutorials a fair try? They are very well done.

They're not videos. That's why I didn't list them...Though, I agree they should be the first step for anyone learning SW...

Yep, I understand they aren't videos, but they are so well done and free and built-in so they should at least be given a fair shake.

I see so many people that look past the first line of resources, especially seeking some all knowing YouTube gurus. There is so much stuff on YT that the good stuff is too hard to sort out from the people that either aren't as good as they think they are or are horrible teachers. Caveat emptor applies to the interwebs too, doesn't it.
