Below are links to tutorials to learn the sample CAD software we gave you. There is also a link to put in a request for technical support. If you have a licensing or other issue with the software please submit a request for technical support. After your request you should receive a detailed message on how to fix your issue. If you are using a software other than Creo you may need to find tutorials to help you learn how to use it.
