My Solidworks just showed up
The company I ordered through would NOT ship prior to receiving proof of being a student. Fortunately the machine tool technology night class I'm taking was satisfactory to them.
I've only had time to open it and poke around, but so far I'm very pleased with how intuitive it is, more similar to Google's sketchup then AutoCad but experience in both will be a help.
Sergey, are you using the included tutorials or a book? If a book, would you recommend it?
