What new solidword 2012 tutorial

Web-based Documentation
Documentation is now available on the Web for SolidWorks, SolidWorks Enterprise PDM,
and eDrawings®.
By default, when you access help, the Web version of the documentation is displayed in
a Web-based viewer. You can still choose to use local help files (.chm) if, for example,
your Internet connection is slow or unavailable.
Benefits of Web-based help include:
• Improved search functionality, including improved relevancy ranking, spelling correction,
short descriptions in search results views, and guided navigation to help you identify
relevant topics.
• Improved topic navigation, including next and previous topic buttons and breadcrumb
navigation.
• Ability to provide feedback directly to the documentation team on individual help topics.
• Up-to-date documentation without the need to download large compiled help (.chm)
files.
Select or clear Help > Use SolidWorks Web Help to switch between the local and
Web-based versions of the help.
New Illustration Policy
In response to customer requests, our documentation now includes more images than in
earlier releases. In the past, all images that contained text were localized, which limited
the number and type of illustrations we could provide. In this release, we include English
illustrations in localized documentation when translated text is not required for
understanding the concept, for example, the location of an item or the general layout of
the UI.


Display States for Parts
You can now specify display states for parts in the same way that you could specify them
for assemblies in previous versions of SolidWorks. Display states allow you to toggle
quickly between different visual representations of the part without changing
configurations.
Part display states control the appearance, display mode, hide/show, and transparency
of bodies, features, faces, and parts according to the following chart:

Solidworks Pro

So far I've heard good things about Solid Professor, and the few sample videos I got to watch seemed pretty sweet. But I was wondering if anybody has taken the Solid Professor course and successfully passed the CSWP exam? I have very minimal Solid Works training/experience, but from what my boss says, it seems as though I'm doing pretty awesome. My machine tool instructor introduced me to Solid Works and gave me the InspireTech training videos. This was the first I had ever seen or heard of such a program. Two months later I'm taking the CSWA and pass with plenty of time to spare. A couple weeks after that I'm working at a medical OEM using SolidWorks every day. But...it's not enough for me! Now that I actually have a piece of a paper that I'm proud of, I want to move on up to the next level. Which kind of brings me to another question. Saying as how I'm at the young age of 24 and no college degree, (learned "manufacturing engineering" in trade school) would I be way out of my league trying to do the CSWP and eventually CSWE? I noticed they do evaluations and stuff. From what I've read Solid Professor doesn't have anything for the CSWE, but hey, first things first. Need Solid Works wisdom from the all knowing please. Everyone learns things in different ways and they are all fine. I think it is much easier to sell your ability to someone if you can list recognizable training methods (Solid Prof, I Get It, etc) and any measurable tests you have successfully handled. These will get recognized on a resume quicker than a list of url addresses from you-tube. Of course, once you get past the initial contact, proving your ability becomes more important
