  Lesson 2 - Parts - V. 2 This entry is a continuation of the basic theory conveyed in SolidWorks Project: Learning the Ropes - Entry #1, where a 3D model of a pressure plate was created. As stated in Entry #1, the theory being tested in this blog series is based upon the internal tutorial program embedded within Solidworks, which is rumored to be all that is needed to reach intermediate to advanced level understanding of the software, with additional sources only needed for specialized uses or integration with other programs such as Blender for 3D printing. This series will document the progress of a first year engineering student with no prior experience with computer aided engineering design to weigh the theory based on outcomes.  The process demonstrated followed the tutorials presented through the software itself, with no external assistance from other instructional sources. Entry #7 is a continuation of the Lesson 2 - Assemblies tutorial within the SolidWorks learning mo...
