SOLIDWORKS Shorts - good format for learning?

Unread post by Tim R. Halvorsen »

Hi All

I've been making a few #shorts with SOLIDWORKS tips.
These are meant for quick teasers and inspiration to explore the features more deeply, but with no awareness, they are never really discovered by many.

I used to do SOLIDWORKS training with a reseller, and I know that users never learn everything in a class room.

So here they are - the videos I made and would like to know is waste of time or useful to continue developing.

Using SOLIDWORKS Trim Entities:


SOLIDWORKS Planes


Rotate and Zoom about center


Line and Arc


Orient Part and arbitrary Plane in SOLIDWORKS


SOLIDWORKS bad habits, sketching


I hope to get constructive feedback on the concept :)

I always like if those shorts have a description that actually repeats what's in the video.
Otherwise you don't know what's in 'bad habits, sketching'.

Otherwise imho:
SHORTER,
SHORTER,
SHORTER!

Also: Make a playlist from them.

Oh - first thought, already, that WILL HELP users to find them... coincise naming convention. I would suggest to name like "SOLIDWORKS Shorts - [topic]" or something that way... That Solidworks Shorts sounds like a brand or a thing, in a good way, already by itself.

The absolutely most important thing to me is the naming... and Ive done a lot of youtube searches starting solidworks... these days Im kinda out of ideas how to find more and proper instructional videos... There are so many channels creating more like skill-showcases than real instructional videos. Yeah - I can make a curve bend too with flex but that is not a tool I would use in my professional tasks to model a bent tube... if you know what I mean.
Sincerely,
JuTu

Hi @berg_lauritz and @JuTu

I took your comments and used them. Thanks for taking the time to contribute here :)

Descriptions could for sure be better, but the "Shorts format does not really display descriptions anyway - it is a concept alike stories in Instagram and other platforms.
Users don't actually search and find, they are just added to the shorts feed based on previous preferences I guess.
