Alignex is offering an exclusive online, instructor-led training program called CADCamp. For a one-time discounted cost of $600, the student can take as many of the eligible Alignex EXTEND and EXTEND MASTERCLASS courses as they would like.

With SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect technology, SOLIDWORKS Simulation users can now analyze parts and assemblies created in other CAD systems including PTC Creo, Autodesk Inventor, Siemens SolidEdge or NX, and Dassault Systemes CATIA. 3D Interconnect allows you to insert proprietary CAD data directly into a SOLIDWORKS assembly without converting it to a SOLIDWORKS file.

At a time when more and more employees are working from home to limit the spread of COVID-19, we want to make sure you have all the resources you need to use SOLIDWORKS successfully.
By now we are all familiar with using the default Reference Planes (Front, Top & Right) within SOLIDWORKS. Whether being used to start a sketch or mating parts with assemblies, the use of reference planes is a fundamental building block of SOLIDWORKS Part Design or Assembly Modeling.
