FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is DriveWorks easy to learn?
Yes, DriveWorks was built by engineers for engineers. It empowers engineers to take full control over how to automate their own designs without the need for a software developing or programming background. If you can write Excel formulas, then you can build DriveWorks automation.
To get started learning how to use DriveWorks, try out DriveWorks Xpress. It is available directly within SOLIDWORKS. This lighter version of the tool is simple to use and has self-paced training modules available through SolidProfessor. You can also access DriveWorks Xpress, Solo, and Professional training directly from the DriveWorks website. It is presented in an easy to digest self-paced format very similar to SolidProfessor.
To learn how to utilize DriveWorks Professional to the fullest, we recommend including our instructor-led courses in your learning pathway. In these training courses, our expert instructors will teach you the fundamentals – as well as more advanced skills – and answer all your questions so that you can get up and running efficiently with DriveWorks automation.
How long does it take to learn
DriveWorks?
With our instructor-led courses, it does not take long at all to learn how to build a basic automation project in DriveWorks. You can complete both courses over 4 full days in the classroom or 6 partial days online. Our DriveWorks class follows a project-based format. Rather than simply teaching isolated functionality, we will be building a real working project across the span of the entire class. This will provide all the tools you need to automate your own products.
If you want to put what you learn in the classroom into action even more effectively, we recommend an Ask-an-Expert mentoring session(included as part of our Elite Subscription program or our All Access Resource Bundle) to get the most out of your investment.
What experience do I need to have
to attend DriveWorks training?
To take the DriveWorks Professional Essentials course, you will need to possess a Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) or have taken the SOLIDWORKS Essentials course. You will also need to have been using DriveWorks for a minimum of 3 weeks prior to course start and have a working knowledge of Microsoft Excel. Although we highly recommend having taken any of the self-paced training from DriveWorks and SolidProfessor ahead of time, it is not required.
To take the DriveWorks Professional Advanced course, you are required to have taken the DriveWorks Professional Essentials course first.
I have no prior experience with programming languages, is that okay?
Although knowing a prior language will certainly give you a huge benefit in terms of understanding logic, it is not required to be successful with DriveWorks. Writing rules in DriveWorks feels more like writing Excel formula than Visual Basic code. If you can write Excel formula, then you can build DriveWorks automation.
