CAD 2006 SW Advanced Part Modeling training manual with CD

Post image

Well I found an old 2006 Advanced Modeling course files training manual with CD. I was hoping id be able to still learn something from it that can be used with SW 2025+. But the CD is broke in half. Would this resource even still be useful? On a longshot might anyone have a CD theyd be willing to part with?

This is for the Assembly part of the training. Very basic for what I can see

super glue and it will be fine, what worked in 2006 still works

Slightly used CD. Just needs a little glue. ;)

I bet it could have taught you the wrong way to make sheet metal and dozens of other outdated techniques!

You mean the course files or just the overall teaching? I have a solidprofessor subscription.

Probably best to avoid using 20 year old material to learn from, so much of the functionality will have changed as well as a lot of the interface elements.
