3D CAD Software EducationI have yet to be employed by a company that uses 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Unigraphics or Catia. With little or no possiblity of learning any of these engineering tools, I am stuck in this antiquated situation. I am waiting for a course in SolidWorks. Can you help me find this type of education?
