New Year, New Classes!
Get yourself ready for spring by taking a look at our tips for setting up your classes for the new semester. If you have other questions, need enrollment keys, or want to review new features, just let us know!
Introduction to CATIA V5 Is Here!
Our library continues to grow! Check out our first CATIA course, authored by one of the instructors who uses SolidProfessor in his classes! Introduction to CATIA V5 does not require any previous experience with the software – it will step you through the basics, including how to navigate and customize the interface, and share various tips and tricks to make designing easier.
Success on the CSWA
This fall, we offered free test vouchers for the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate exam. Congratulations to all students who tested! We’re going through the results and will share more success stories soon, but in the meantime, here are two highlights to tide you over:
- At Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, 93% of Bryan Guns and Justin Lemke’s students passed, up from 50% a few years ago!
- In California at Chaminade College Preparatory School, 80% of Tommy Smeltzer’s students passed, two of whom were sophomores!

It may seem hard to imagine an industry-leading product like Inventor disappearing, but with cloud-based Fusion 360 becoming more prominent, that day may be approaching. Check out this article postulating Inventor’s demise, then head to the Library to jump start your skills!
