Learn SOLIDWORKS Electrical
SOLIDWORKS Electrical is an intuitive tool that eliminates a lot of the tedious elements of schematic design.
To get the most out of the software it is important to understand the available commands and resources, and also to learn how to configure the software to suit your company.
The fastest way to get up to speed is to attend one of our instructor led training courses.

Our 3-Step Path to Learning SOLIDWORKS Electrical
The Foundation
2D Schematic Design
In this phase, you’ll master the intelligent database behind SOLIDWORKS Electrical. Instead of manual drafting, you’ll learn to generate automated wire numbers, real-time BOMs, and smart symbols that "know" their manufacturer parts.
The Integration
3D Cabinet & Assembly
This is where the magic happens. You’ll bring your 2D logic into the 3D CAD environment. By placing real-world components into your assemblies, you can plan spatial layouts and detect physical interferences before a single part is ordered.
The Optimisation
Routing & Automation
The final step focuses on the physical "wiring" of the machine. You will learn to use auto-routing to calculate wire lengths instantly and generate complex "Nailboard" drawings for wire harness manufacturing. This path leads directly to your CSWA-E Professional Certification.
