Teaching basics in schematic layout is a good place to start. Lines and symbols are very smart. This is really 80% a 2d word which is hard for a SolidWorks user to say.

The challenge is you need to know all the pinout from the 2D symbol or it won't route correctly into 3D. This has been a challenge for us. We should have purchased a kit.
