Graphics and sketching

There are several reasons why Illinois Solidworks is so popular. Their graphics are phenomenal. When you are doing a project, it looks like the real thing, not terrible computer graphics. The first time I saw someone use the software, I thought it was a picture of a real piece of machinery.  The “top down design” approach of Solidworks is what makes it different. It can work wonders for whatever your team is working on.  The different features that Solidworks Illinois users love so much refer to the building of the part, and the specific tools used. These building blocks are actually made of shapes and operations become the construction of the part.  Normally, your engineer will begin with a 2D sketch of a few very basic shapes, such as including holes and slots.  The main shape is then cut (called extruded in the industry) so that a designer can add or remove excess material from the part in another phase.  This is just the most basic first step.  The next step involved operation based features of the part that are not sketch -based.
