Welcome to SOLIDWORKS Foundations: Sketching and Extrusion, the first course in the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD for Education Specialization.

In this course, you will learn how to use SOLIDWORKS to solve CAD problems. The problems involve creating a 3D object from a 2D sketch using the Extruded Boss/Base feature. You will also learn about the sketch tools & end conditions for extrude feature. Upon completion of this learning module, you will be able to: - Create sketch profiles - Extrude the sketch profiles - Create sketch fillets/chamfers - Convert & Offset Entities in a sketch - Create sketch entities using mirror command - Create and use Global Variables and Equation - Use start & end conditions for extrude boss This course is ideal for beginners and those new to SOLIDWORKS, particularly students, educators, and early-career professionals in engineering and design.
