SolidWorks Routing
This course teaches users how to easily create routed systems in SolidWorks, such as electrical, cable, conduit, tube and pipe routes. The course walks users through all of the functions and options for each type of route, as well as how to create 2D drawings for manufacturing with all of the information necessary to accurately document their routes such as Bills of Materials, Wiring Summaries, and Harness reports. This course also shows users how to create their own routing components to be used in any of their routes in the future. SolidWorks routing makes what used to be a painstaking part of a design very quick and easy.

Prerequisites: SolidWorks Routing requires a solid understanding of some advanced SolidWorks functionality such as Top Down Assembly Design, 3D sketching, Configurations and the Design Library. If you are new to SolidWorks or if any of those topics are unfamiliar to you, it is recommended to review SolidProfessor Core Concepts and Advanced Concepts prior to this course.
