Before You Begin

Keep these tools in mind as you model. They are helpful when you encounter issues.

  • Undo and Redo

    You can undo and redo your most recent actions by clicking Undo and Redo on the Standard toolbar.

  • Reset System Options

    If you experiment with settings in SOLIDWORKS, you may run into issues modeling the tutorial models. These models are designed to work with factory settings. You can restore the settings to the factory defaults by clicking Tools > Options > System Options > Reset.

  • Status bar

    You can use the status bar in the lower right corner of the SOLIDWORKS interface to view editing status and update measurement units.
