Getting Started: CAD Software and the Design Process
Before opening any software, you need to understand why FRC teams CAD their robots, which tool to use, and how design fits into the larger engineering design process. This module sets the foundation.
Getting Started: CAD Software and the Design Process is module 1 of 8 in the CAD & Design guide. It picks up where CAD Foundations: Spatial Thinking and Drawings left off and hands over to Onshape Fundamentals: Sketches, Parts, and Assemblies. Its 3 lessons are about 105 minutes of the guide's ~18 hours.
