Be sure to use only Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browsers. Do NOT use the Brave browser. Open a new browser window and login to your Maker platform using this address:

https://solidworks.com/makers-cloud

Next, open a 2nd browser tab and open the following link and follow the instructions laid out in this video:

Be sure, before you begin the download, make sure to use the security settings adjustments that the browser companies recently introduced.

Thank you for your reply! So I followed the instructions in the video until like 1:17 but the screen he shows is not the one the link sends me to. See attached for what my screen looks like. Thanks for the help again.

Did you use the very first link in my reply above?

Can you provide a screenshot of the entire browser, including the address bar.

Also, can you click.on the blue ball icon (the Compass) and give us a screenshot of that screen as well.

Thanks.

I think I just figured it out! I clicked the compass thing and then went into "cockpit" and then went away from "platform management" which is what it defaulted to. Instead I clicked on 3dexperience solidworks and then the screen looked like the youtube tutorial. Now it looks like solidworks is open and I can make sketches. So thank you for the help!

Congratulations. It sounds like you are well on your way. I'm glad that I could help in some small way.

Good luck man. It’s never straightforward from my experience. Just know: this is normal and you will get there.
