FAQ
Frequently asked Questions
Are these tutorials free?
Yes, all of them. They are written by the technical teams at Ohmycad, an official Dassault Systèmes reseller, based on the questions our customers ask us through our support channels.
For which version of SOLIDWORKS are they valid?
The tutorials have been verified for SOLIDWORKS 2025/2026 in French. Basic commands change very little from one version to the next; when a feature is version-specific, it is noted in the tutorial.
How can I learn SOLIDWORKS from scratch?
Tutorials are helpful, but if you’re starting from scratch, the most effective approach is a structured training program: you can master the fundamentals in just a few days with an instructor, whereas self-study takes months. See our guide to SOLIDWORKS training and the Ohmytraining offerings.
