Favourite Features - SOLIDWORKS Education 2020

January 15, 2026

The session presents a collection of useful SOLIDWORKS features, including the Indent tool for creating precise clearances, sweep options that minimise sketching by using closed‑loop edge selections, and direct editing tools such as Delete Face and Move Face for quick modifications. Sketch Pictures are shown as a way to trace and scale designs accurately. Convert to Sheet Metal enables solid bodies to be flattened into development patterns. Two‑point splines offer simpler, more controllable curve creation. The interface can be customised by dragging commands and adjusting keyboard shortcuts, and settings can be copied between machines. Motion studies allow easy animations with keyframes, scene floor rotation and simple motor setup, saving to formats like MP4. Additional practical guidance includes creating a reliable local workspace, using Pack and Go to package complete project files, and accessing interactive online walkthroughs and learning materials
