Alright, let’s talk about this SolidWorks thing, whatever it is. Sounds fancy, but I’ll try to make it plain as day, like good ol’ corn on the cob.
What’s this SolidWorks Knowledge Base, huh?
Well, from what I gather, it’s like a big ol’ barn full of information ’bout that SolidWorks software. You know, like how we store hay for the winter? This here barn stores answers to your questions ’bout that computer stuff. They used to have their own little shed for it, but now they moved it all to a bigger place, some kinda “3DS” barn. Fancy folks, I tell ya.

You wanna get in there? You gotta go to this here “support.*/knowledge-base” place on your computin’ machine and log in. Don’t ask me what that means, my grandson shows me these things.
What’s SolidWorks all about, anyway?
Seems like it’s for makin’ them 3D doodads. You know, like them fancy pictures that look real but ain’t? Some fella named Hirschtick, sounds like a tick on a cow, started it way back when. Wanted to make somethin’ easy to use, even for us simple folk, I guess. They started in some place called Concord, then moved to Waltham. Probably followed the good pasture land, like we do with cows.
- They got this software, SolidWorks, for makin’ them 3D things.
- They got a place to get help, that Knowledge Base we talked about.
- And they got folks you can call if you’re really stuck, but I ain’t got their number memorized. Too many numbers for this old brain.
Findin’ answers in that there Knowledge Base
Now, when you’re lookin’ for somethin’ in that barn, you gotta keep it simple. Don’t go usin’ them big fancy words. Just plain ol’ talk, like “how do I make this circle bigger?” or “where’s that button I saw yesterday?”. Them computer folks say to use “simple phrases and words.” See? Even they know plain talk is best.
They also got other places to get help, like forums and tutorials. Forums are like a town hall meetin’, where folks ask questions and other folks answer. Tutorials are like little lessons, showin’ you how to do things step-by-step. My grandson tried to show me a tutorial once, but I just ended up makin’ the computer screen go all fuzzy. Kids these days, they’re somethin’ else.
If you’re really in a pickle…
If you’re really stuck, you can go to their website, *, or call ’em up. They got people there who know all about this stuff. They can answer your questions and help you figure things out. But try that Knowledge Base first, it’s probably got what you need.
They moved things around, ya know…
Seems like these SolidWorks folks, they joined up with another big company, Dassault Systems. So, things got moved around a bit. Kinda like when you rearrange the furniture in your livin’ room. Everything’s still there, just in a different spot. So if you can’t find somethin’, don’t fret. Just poke around a bit, or ask someone for help. That’s what neighbors are for, right? And maybe that’s what them forums are for too, city folk way of bein’ neighborly I guess.
Help is out there, even for us old timers…
So, there you have it. That’s the lowdown on this SolidWorks Knowledge Base, as best as I can figure it. Don’t be scared of it. It’s just a big barn full of information. And even if you don’t know much about computers, you can still find what you need. Just keep it simple, ask for help if you need it, and don’t be afraid to poke around. You might just surprise yourself.
Remember, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. So don’t give up if you don’t find what you’re lookin’ for right away. Keep searchin’, and you’ll find it eventually. And if you’re still stuck, well, there’s always that phone number. But try the Knowledge Base first. It’s there to help ya, just like a good neighbor.
One last thing…
They got somethin’ called “Web Help” too. Sounds fancy, but it’s just another place to get help. And if you’re usin’ that fancy 3D Experience stuff, they got help for that too. Seems like there’s help everywhere you look these days. Makes a body wonder how we ever got along without it. But we did, didn’t we? We always find a way.
