Electrical · Complete SOLIDWORKS learning path
From the electrical schematic to the flattened 3D harness, all the way to the circuit board.
Free video training · Electrical
Six lessons covering three tools: SOLIDWORKS Electrical for schematics, SOLIDWORKS electrical routing for 3D harnesses and conduits, and CircuitWorks for circuit boards. The first three lessons follow a schematic project, the next three move into the 3D assembly.

What you will be able to do
✓Create and set up a SOLIDWORKS Electrical project from a template
✓Build a schematic: symbols, manufacturer parts, wires, cables and macros
✓Route a harness in a 3D assembly and flatten it for manufacturing
✓Route rigid conduits and import a circuit board with CircuitWorks
Where to start
You draw electrical schematics: start with lesson 1 and follow lessons 1 to 3 in order. You wire machines in SOLIDWORKS 3D: start with lesson 4.
