I plan on preparing for the CSWA exam and found your video so helpful. If I have questions I'll reach out and again thank you for clarifying things. I was a little lost but you made the follow through seamless.
I started in reverse. Established a construction line down (36) and then another to intersect the part. Then I made the circle coincedent to the right side and the intersection point. The center of the circle was 3.58mm higher than the top of the part. I'll check out your next vid now.
Create a point coincident on the edge of the circle, then create a relation coincident to the straight line as well, now set a smart dimension of 36 vertical to that line in the reference image. Set the circles radius to 41, and then ensure it has a vertical relation with the line below. Done!
34:18 I think you just need to do a parallel line to the top down there, specify it's distance and then make the ring go through that line where it crosses through the shape?

Nevermind, I see it in the next video now. So yeah
@ Thanks for the suggestion. Yes - I managed to figure out how to do it properly in the next video (th-cam.com/video/-h7sP8FKKqs/w-d-xo.html) , but there are always more than one way to go about creating a part 😀
Hii , it’s incredible that the way you teach or giving well information . I wanna know that is it demanding solid works and what are the wages for beginners (employers). I want to know that - it is a good thing to go solidworks. Please reply!
Thanks for the comment. Glad you found it useful! It might be good to have a look at job websites in you country to get an idea of what the salary ranges are. Getting certified will be a big advantage on your CV 👍
Unfortunately I cannot really say without seeing your sketch. You can join my Discord channel: discord.gg/MgMzX9Vugw and share a screenshot and we can go from there 👍🏻
The practise exam essentially is there so that you can familiarise yourself with the program that you will use to access the questions and input your answers. The real exam will have different questions each time. As long as you do not submit at the end, you can revisit all the questions that you have completed and make changes if you want. Hope this answers your question👍
@@AdriaanVanNiekerk actually I want to enroll myself to CSWA exam but not having solid understanding how to enroll for that. I would be thankful if you guide me for the same. Thanks 😊
When I follow the tutorial I get the same density but not the same mass? I am not sure why? I also wasn’t able to have a fully defined black lined shape? Do u know why?
If the mass differs, then your part is not quite as it should be. If the lines are still blue, it means it can move around. I suggest you select the line (or point) with your cursor and try to move it around. Its behaviour will tell you what dimension needs to be added to make it fully defined.
hellow adriaan,i have some questions i want to ask you 1.as i watched your video you said i can use two laptop during examination one to run the solidworks and another for virtual tester pro.....two laptop must communicate to each other or not necessary? 2.how long it takes to conduct the exam after online.
Hi Nurdin. I think I used two monitors coupled to one computer, but two computers will work just as well. The laptops do not need to communicate with each other at all. The virtual tester will just give you the questions and receive your answers. It does not check to see if you open up Solidworks etc. If I can remember correctly they give you 3 hours to complete the exam. I completed mine in 2 hours, but I know of people that did it quicker. 3 hours should be enough, especially if something goes wrong and you need to re-do certain aspects. Good luck! Let me know how it goes 💪
Well if you are prepared it should be a walk in the park. Just take your time, as you have enough. Also, try and make sure with the multiple questions that your answer is exactly the same as one of the options. That is a good indication that you modelled the part correctly. Good luck!
hey man I am having trouble with the first design for number 3. I got everything except the radius 19 at the top. How do you select the focal point of the arc. in the drawing it is visble for the R29 at the bottom but at the top the R19 is very difficult to select focal point.
Yes it is definitely possible. Where I manually entered the angles between arms, you can use variables. This will speed up the process considerably. Let me know if you passed the exam
Hi Ziad - for the paid exams you can do it as many times as you want. You just need to pay for every time. You can do the free exam, that I go through in the video, once a month. The questions in the paid exam is similar to the free one, but will never be the same.
Hi Abina - I did this example exam as well as watched some other videos on TH-cam of people that did the exam as well. I have been using SolidWorks for some time, so I was quite familiar with using it. I just needed to get familiar with the exam environment. Are you planning on taking the exam?
@@AdriaanVanNiekerk Yeah i want to take the exam but i'm not using solidworks everyday so i have to start to train everyday actually... But i have no idea where to start to learn the important stuff.... Do you have an idea / plan?

I am glad I could help! Good luck in your preparation 👍🏻
I just gave this exam and was having a really hard time understanding a few things but watching this definitely helped me out. Thanks a lot
Glad it helped! Do let me know if you have any other CAD questions
Man I just succeeded the CSWA exam. Your video was the most helpfull one. Thanks a lot for your help!
Congrats on passing the exam! 💪 glad this video helped!
loved your smile after getting assemly answer correct 😁
Nothing as rewarding to get that answer 👌
For 34:00 you can draw the circle first then set a point then set the distance to 36 and then set the radius/diameter
Thanks for the suggestion - works perfectly!
it makes sense
Ah yes, when you’re part turns into a pretzel. Love when that happens.
😂 part of the experience
Found it really helpful
Glad you found it useful!

Ad a vertex, constraint it on edge and circle and set distance distance to 36 from upper edge.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙌

I usually just use CTRL+Z in case I mess up, so that I dont lose too much of my work
Haha - I use CTRL-Z a lot!

I want to know that - it is a good thing to go solidworks.

I have designed the 3 and 4 no models but I can't get accurate mass properties, the sketch is fully defined! Can you tell me the solution, please?

What is difference in cswa practice exam and main exam?
Is there any possibility to repeat the questionnaire?
The practise exam essentially is there so that you can familiarise yourself with the program that you will use to access the questions and input your answers. The real exam will have different questions each time. As long as you do not submit at the end, you can revisit all the questions that you have completed and make changes if you want.

@@AdriaanVanNiekerk thanks sir for brief information.
@@sachinkhot630 no problem- glad I could help. Let me know if you have other questions.

hello Adrian today I pay for the CSWA exam.so if am ready prepared can Is it possible to do the exams today?
You can do the exam anytime you are ready. Just have your voucher code with you and once you enter it you can start the exam 💪🏻
section cut circle R41-36=5 above horz

For the people who did it quicker,how long they take.? sorry
For 34:00, 3 point arc is the easiest of all I think. Your method was too lengthy
Great suggestion! The 3 point arc does make more sense 💪
Thank you for the video. Did you pass the CSWA exam?
Yes I did. It was completely different to the test exam. Did you take the exam?
@@AdriaanVanNiekerk No I have not taken it yet. I'm planning to take in next month or so, thus, preparing for it. Was it too difficult?
Well if you are prepared it should be a walk in the park. Just take your time, as you have enough. Also, try and make sure with the multiple questions that your answer is exactly the same as one of the options. That is a good indication that you modelled the part correctly. Good luck!
@@AdriaanVanNiekerk Thanks. Just need to brush up on the names of the different views.
You can watch my follow-up video: th-cam.com/video/-h7sP8FKKqs/w-d-xo.html where I show you a trick in checking your drafting answers using SolidWorks

Is it possible to use variables in the assemble?
Yes it is definitely possible. Where I manually entered the angles between arms, you can use variables. This will speed up the process considerably. Let me know if you passed the exam
think u can also hold shift to get that 36 mm dimension
Thanks for the suggestion danish9135
Hello! is it still possible to have the parts for the assemblies? thank you
The parts can be downloaded from the question. The test client provides it to you
@@AdriaanVanNiekerk thank you
@@antoniodibiasedesigner3171 glad I could help. Are you preparing for the exam?
@@AdriaanVanNiekerk hello I'm sorri for this late answer. Yes I'm trying to have my exam... I hope well
@@antoniodibiasedesigner3171 good luck! Let me know how it went?
I want to know how many attempts for the exam and is the exam will have the same exercise like the video?
Hi Ziad - for the paid exams you can do it as many times as you want. You just need to pay for every time. You can do the free exam, that I go through in the video, once a month. The questions in the paid exam is similar to the free one, but will never be the same.
ok but where is the indian accent?
Why would I have an indian accent? I’m not Indian 😜
Thank you
