Been waiting for something like this. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome.
Thank you for the video. It helped tremendously with setup.
I'm very happy with the very solid and clear information in this video. Thanks a lot !
Your welcome, im happy to help.
Those costs seem reasonable for the potential value what is being offered with this software. Using your own hardware is one nice feature. $10 to try for a month is worth not having to deal with crashing and underpowered free programs and the other frustrations and headaches that come with them. I think I'll give it a try.
Awesome 😁
Nice. Thanks for the tip.
Your welcome.
Thank you for a great video
Your welcome.
Thank you for finding and posting this. I personally think SolidWorks was the most elegant piece of software I have ever witnessed and used. Unfortunately I did not have time to learn the software, just tinkered with it but NOW? Wow what a deal!
For all the salty guys that want to complain about the cost or try to trash you in favor of some other software package? Dudes seriously? The OP is just trying to show everyone a hell of a deal. If you think you can get a better deal or some other software is better? Go spend your own time and make your own video about that and get some haters of your own why don't ya?
Thank you again and I will be subscribing since I just bought my own Sidewinder x2 so I will be paying attention to your upgrades. Appreciate ya brother!
Have a beer for the haters!
Thank you for your comment, I agree its a very elegant piece of software. Haters gonna hate, like you said, I'm just showing another option for those that are looking. I think alot of people will hate on stuff like this because it doesn't give them the conformation bias they want for what ever software they use. Thanks for the SUB and cheers to all the haters....
The Problem Solved! This was a Highly Unlikely Situation! Old computer dying, New computer loaded with SW 2011 and then SW 2018 (Can't be made to work). Later loaded 3DExperience and Tested. Uninstalled SW 2011/2018. Considering my Bad Experience with 3DExperience, was going to uninstall this also. But as stated below, your Video came to the Rescue this morning. After Testing 3DExperience and Discovering the below Dimensioning Problem, I set about Working the Problem. As it turned out, I suspected that when uninstalling SolidWorks some Important Files may have been Removed. So I Reinstalled SW 2011 then Opened 3DExperience again. Problem Solved! Doubtful that another of your Viewers will come across this problem, but there it is incase it can help in the future. Again Thank You so much for being there. Love you Man!
Thank you very much. Im happy you got it sorted. Im very happy the video helped.
Question...? Can someone do the solidworks certification tests with this kind of subscription?
This is an exciting development. Ive been wanting to separate my personal design stuff from work hardware and software. I have a huge body of work that I'd have to translate into another CAD system. But it looks like this will let me keep using my files with no changes to my workflow. For $100/year, that's a no brainer.
Awesome, sounds like this is the perfect solution for you. Remember that when you save your files in the maker version you cant reopen them in the comercial version. I would backup all your files first just incase.
@@EtherealProject3D Already done. Thanks also for the content on the extra features. I didn't know there was a CAM module. I have a CNC router. So I'm hoping it will export G code directly to my machine.
@@thetoolman3 I have not messed with the CAM, I am unaware that there is a CAM module in this version. I will look into it though. I am building a CNC router at work and Im not looking forward to having to use Fusion 360 for it.
@@EtherealProject3D I'm referring to the NC Shop Programmer module you mentioned in your video.
@@thetoolman3 oh yes, for some reason i was thinking of solidcam. I forgot about that. Its so over my head but I will have to learn it.
thank you for this vid, subscribed a month ago but the link that was in the email to get started was broken, when they charged me for the second month they resent the link and it worked.
Your welcome, sorry you had problems with the email. Im happy it got sorted.
I have heard of many people on reddit struggling to cancel the subscription, do you have any idea how to do this?
That I do not, I have never canceled mine.
Thank you for responding immediately. To answer you -- Both; Part File's Open Sketch and Drawing File's 2D View. I'll send Comment if I can Solve Problem.
Thats strange, ive never had any issue like that. If you would like some one on one help dont hesitate to ask. Good luck.
I haven't tried this been really wanting to get good at SW to take the cert exams. Would you recommend?
Yes very much so.
@@EtherealProject3D sweet I'm buying 👌🏽
Just Downloaded SolidWorks 3DExperience. After three days of Studying the Software & Manual / Help files, I must agree with many users; This Program is a Convoluted Mess! If not for seeing your Video this morning, I was going to Remove SolidWorks 3DExperience from my computer. You showed me that not only is their 3D Design / 3D Creator, by also SolidWorks Professional Included (but hidden under layers). Seems Great so far (I'm a retired Mechanical Design Engineer). However, I've just discovered that my copy of SW Professional, can't Place Dimensions in either Part Files or Drawing Files. Maybe I'll be able to solve this problem. Ethereal Project 3D: Any suggestions? Thank you.
Yes the way they have 3D Experience set up is a bit pain in the ass. I hope they figure it out a d make it more user friendly in the near future. As fas as the dimensions go, are you working in a drawing or in the part file? Are you trying to dimension a sketch?
question, do you get the actual SolidWorks software as in its running of my own hardware and not the cloud? but get the benefit of having the 3d experience as well?
I just don't want all the cloud crap..
took courses back in school and want to train on my own..
nvm, watched the video :)
Yeah, you dont have to use any of the cloud features.
Can I use 3DExperience for Makers to prototype an idea and file a patent application, prior to then purchasing the Solidworks tools that I would need for commercialization? In other words, once I file the patents and I decide that I do want to go ahead and commercialize a version 2 of the idea. Could I then purchase a commercial license for Solidworks and import my files from the 3DExperience for Makers tool?
Im not sure, I know files created in the makers version can not be opened in the commercial version directly. You would need to export them as a STEP file then import them in the comercial version.
No 3rd party add-ons? I couldn't live without Nifty Dogbones or MapBoards in my free version of Fusion 360. Does SolidWorks have the ability to automatically generate dogbone filets on bodies? And does it have an automatic nesting tool for laying out parts onto sheet goods for CAM? If so, I'd consider checking it out.
As of right now there is no Dogbone filet option. I havent dived into the cam stuff in SW yet.
Can you transfer the files over to a professional license version? Or would i have to re design it?
You can convert them to STEP and import them into the commercial version
How accurate is this video? Other video State you cannot render with this version of SolidWorks. Has anyone confirm that you can do all the rendering as shown in this video?
Yes this is accurate, Solidworks Visualize come with it and I have not found any limitations to it compared to the commercial version.
just try to log in
I read 9.99$ per month, which is 120$ per year while Fusion360 is free for hobbyist ... i think i will stay with Fusion. But thanks for the time and information shared
If you go with the annual plan its just $100 for the year.
@@EtherealProject3D then the thumbnail should read for $100, not for $10.
PASS
It is free for 12 months only.
@@kajackdfw72 Sorry to say that you can renew it each year if you stiil use it for personal use and not any business purpose which is fair for anyone doing some design for its own need or as a maker sharing freely some parts.
@@EtherealProject3D and limited to only 10projects, and u need internet connection to do anything, if u want to save the file so u can use it for 3d printing u need a connection, and fusion isnt that good
With VAT, it's about 12$/month. Still worth it, in my opinion. Thanks!
You are welcome my friend.
If the saved file has the water marking can I still use the drawing for a service like send cut send?
Im not familiar with send cut send so I can know for sure.
Or any cut service or 3d printing service?
@@everyangle4310 would juse export to step or stl for that?
is it a Web only app though?
No, You get access to a web version, plus full on Solidworks on your pc. Also you get a SUB D modeling program that is web based and a great rendering program that installs on your PC.
It is also worth mentioning that Solid Edge is free for hobbyists
Yep
Can you work and design offline? When no internet connection is available? Thanks
I dont believe you can.
You can design & work offline for a mx of 30 days with Offline mode in 3DX SW@@EtherealProject3D
I think( not sure) only to start you will need the internet. After that till you close your can use it
This suscription includes the solidworks online version or does not?
It includes a browser based version if thats what you are asking.
@@EtherealProject3D the version without need install nothing is that?
@@estefanoferreiracardoso2424 yes.
That sounds like a good deal, but most of us don't have the required hardware to qualify.
I attempted to purchase, but my 16Gb RAM computer doesn't meet their requirements.
Need to get get a more powerful Workstation first.
Thats strange. My system doesnt have any issues and its got 16gb of ram.
Ia a internet connection necessary for using SW ?
Sadly yes
6:35 …you just assumed that all of your viewers actually have friends.
Lol
Thanks for sharing such an informative Solidworks tutorial!
no trial version?
Sadly no.
He, can i use simulation features in this version?
I believe motion simulation works but flow simulation is limited.
@@EtherealProject3D none of the solidworks add-in show up for me.
can your help with that please.
can you pull stp files in the makers software
Yes you can
👍.
Thank you.
God, their 3d experience platform is actual dogshit. WOW. I am actually impressed by how bad it is!! It's like nobody in their team attempted to use it! I spent 30 minutes already and I can't launch SW because my screen is different than what shows in your video (3:00)!!! What the hell!!
You have gone to the 3d experience main site, you need to go to the link that gets send to your email. But I agree, its really bad and needs to be fixed. If you need help you can dm me on instagram
@@EtherealProject3D thanks... After another half an hour I figured it out. I'm angry because their site really sucks though. I'm still downloading the installer so idk if it's any good yet...
@@fzigunov I am sorry you had trouble finding it. I do hope they figure it out soon. Let me know if you have any more trouble. Also let me know how you like it.
As of Jan 2023 the new "unified eco-system" merge with 3D experience makes the whole process extremely painful. I've never seen such an absurd level of convoluted fuckery. Even after subbing you are completely left in the dark and forced to navigate 4 websites just to MAYBE finally get to get a sense of how to get the product and even then good luck with that. I've never had such an obnoxious barrier to entry with ANY software ever.
I was not aware of any system merge. Sorry you had so much trouble. It is something that they need to figure out.
Dont know what you really are talking about. I work since 2010 with SW Prof (so since over 12 years) and there are so many things missing in this "Maker" version. Then also to have to pay 10$ / month or 100$ / year is way too expensive (as all programms at 3DS of the brand SolidWorks especially) compared with what Fusion360 can offer and that for 0$.
And people are free to use what ever program they wish. Im not sure what else is in SW Pro thats not in the makers version.
Can you provide an example of what is missing in the Maker version? I am wondering if there is something missing, if the price increase to the professional version is worth it. Seems from what I've heard that the Maker version is very full-featured.
@@huge_balls The makers version is very full featured. From what I have experienced the makers version watermarks the files and doesnt allow 3rd party plugins. Thats all.
As per terms and agreement you can't use it for commercial work or service. Also can use it for a company. Still as a make you can create products and sell upto 2000$.
"This is SolidWorks Professional"?! What a laughable statement. I have 20 years working with SolidWorks on the job. This is lacking big time. No ability to cut with surfaces. No ability to have multiple files open simultaneously. Runs in the cloud, which is as slow and laggy as watching paint dry. Oh, did I mention that I paid my annual subscription to the 3DExperience site, waited three more weeks before getting access, and that only after I emailed and called numerous individuals with their company and threatened to turn them into my state attorney general for fraud?
Sorry you do not aggrege with my statement. But In my experience with this version I have been able to have as many files open as I want, I don't have to work in the cloud and I got access immediately after subscribing to the software. As far as cutting with surfaces, I have not spent much time with surfaces so I can not speak to that. I feel you are giving the program bad remarks do to your unique experience and I can understand that. I have been using Solidworks for 13 years and for my workflow it easily matches up with Solidworks Professional.
@@EtherealProject3DIt's not his „unique“ experience. I have this problem myself and other hundreds of people too. It's not reliable in any means.
bump
Thanks.
