Mastering Weldments in SW require you understanding:
1. 2D and 3D Sketches (Wire-Frame)
2. The functions of the various Toolbar Weldment ICON’s
3. Understand how to create and modifying Cut Lists
If you are someone who is trying to understand CAD , I hope this was a
help.
If you are someone who need someone to help them create new design
and documentation I hope you will use the number below and give me a
call.
Thank You for Your Time.
