Hey Johnathan, you probably need to know a little about SolidWorks to do these. After some initial training, I'll have some guys look at some examples to rollback through. It's a fun challenge to try and do something the system can't handle, although it's not that hard really.

I definitely agree though, having someone show you something is by far one of the quickest way to learn something. I think that's probably how I've learned just about anything.

I agree that the quickest way to complete a task is to have someone show me how to do it, but to have it really stick in my brain I need to figure out the limitations on my own.

The problem with just doing what people "show me" means that if the computer does not react in the way I expected it too I am stuck once again. The best way to learn IMHO is to have someone show you (like Josh) and then try and dissect it on my own.
