Most SolidWorks users learn a tool by following a tutorial. They follow
every step, close the browser, and still don't know what to do the
next time that tool comes up. That's not a knowledge gap. It's a
methods gap. This video walks through a four-step framework for learning any SolidWorks tool properly, using the Hole Wizard as the worked example.
🏫 The framework covers:
🔹 What the tool takes as input
🔹 Wwhat settings you can change
🔹 What output you get
🔹 How design intent fits in.
Apply it to any tool, not just Hole Wizard.
