Anyone have any recommendations for video, book, or course (midatlantic region) to learn SW 2011? My company uses PRO/E almost exclusively, but we have a new customer who uses SW. I have approval to get training. Budget for training is a few hundred, and if its a course, I can probably find some other interested people from our design pool and could probably get more funds allocated.

It would need to be geared towards experienced drafters. I have about 5 years of PRO/E, and I'm one of the novices here.

Anyone have any experience with any of the books or videos out there?

Thanks,

Solidworks has some really good built-in tutorials, and you should be able to get through them all in a day or two.
