what is the simpliest first tutorial?

jackie_1

I have spent hours looking for the simplest intro tutorial for help in teaching my high schoolers,
Most beginning tutorials advance very fast. what is the simplest first tutorial?

I have been teaching adult employees Onshape CAD using demonstration, guided hands on, and The Learning Center 'Onshape Fundamentals CAD' for homework.  The prerequisite is an understanding of basic drawing, math, and geometry.

yes, I have worked through it a bit. I think it covers too much at one time for me/my students... Thanks, I will keep searching the forum and onshape links.

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for the sub (and Bruce too!). There will be a few more videos in the next week. The next video will be on sketching tools with a beginner focus on dimensions and constraints.
After that I'll be doing videos to match what my students do at school:

• rings
• pendants
• spinning tops
• figurines
• c02 drag cars

The rings and spinning tops will be the first out.
