Even if you kinda do that, there are some other things you can do right up front to get ahead. Tip #1: Apply it to what you’re interested in So what do you like to do? Do you like bikes? Is there a company out there that uses SolidWorks to design bikes? Well,looky there, Trek Bikes and Mountain Cycle both use it to develop their designs. Do you like to watch TV? Model up a remote like Steve suggests in a comment.

I figured, I have CAD software, lots of time, and an apartment full of funky stuff. So I looked for something that had some curves, had some bits and pieces and something that everybody has to have in a college apartment. Alas, I saw my TV remote. Let me tell you, nobody really understands how complex those curves are until you try to reproduce it. So if you want practice, want to get better at CAD or just want to waste some time, try your lofting skills on something around the house. That helped me a lot.
