When you are learning catia or solidworks or any other CAD or Analysis software... always remember to see the big picture....
That's one important lesson I have learnt from my boss in NAL.
All questions will be answered if you know and see the big picture.
And incidentally this apples not only in learning a particular software but to everything in life. Have a big decision to make move back and see the big picture and you will have the answers to your questions!!
Do share your one important lesson that you have learnt from your teacher or Boss?
