Sure Steve, more than happy to help, which version are you running? The only way I came even close to being competent was by being forced to design and draw literally hundreds of parts, everything from moulded foam to turned parts to sheet metal to tube bends. I did a course at RMIT and then just plunged into it. Absolutely incredible resource once you get your head around it. All the sculptures on my link were drawn in Solidworks and the rolled stainless pieces were all drawn 3D, exported to Rhino and turned into surfaces and flattened. Then finally re-imported to Solidworks and turned into dxf files for laser cutting. I'm too stingy to upgrade from 2007, bad enough buying a copy, crippling to upgrade it every year and have to re-learn!
