Re: SolidWorks Weldments

Our team has used solidworks weldments for the last three years, It is a little more difficult to learn, but i feel the bonuses far out weigh the learning curve. Not only on cad is it an accurate way to tell all conflicts.
the drawings for the builders are a lot easier to understand because you can drop a table on there and will tell the builder what parts need to be cut such as length, width, hieght, material, angle cut. Droping many views of the weldment are simple to so the builder can visualize it also. It is easy to customize to fit your needs. I would strongly recommend using it
