Charles Culp I have to assume not. Mark B. hinted at how to do this a year ago on the SW forums, before SW2008 actually came out. Thanks to Josh, though, for actually detailing it out!

in Using Insert Part to Create Derived Parts on The SolidWorks Geek
James,
I'm curious as to what brought you to that conclusion. As a self-taught user of SolidWorks, who had zero CAD experience prior, I found SolidWorks to be very user friendly. That was back in '98. The interface, IMO, has only gotten easier. I used to be an AE and found that a lot of AutoCAD users had some difficulties when making the change. More often than not, it had to do with the need to change the way they were used to thinking about sketch and model creation.

To partially answer your question:
With 2008, your most common used tools are available simply by hitting your 'S' key. The menu that pops up is completely customizable.
Hovering over icons brings up a pop-up with more detailed information about said icon.
The tutorials, if followed, are extremely easy to understand.
The help files are chock-full of extremely useful information.

If you can provide some examples of how you came to your conclusion, it would go a long way in understanding where you were having problems. Believe me, if I can use SolidWorks anyone can.
