===============================================
Files that go with this tutorial can be downloaded here: DOWNLOAD =============================================== Many IDers are not familiar with the surfacing in Solidworks. It might be handy to go through a simple product like a mouse to walk through how you might go about modelling in solidworks. Over the next few days I will go over how to go about doing this in Solidworks. I sketched this concept over lunch so the design might change over the next few days hehee Hopefully we will have a helpful series
