Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This systematic introduction into the use of SolidWorks 2004 delivers all the information necessary for users to become proficient in designing parts, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings. The book and DVD work in conjunction to help users "see and do" their way to new solid modeling skills using the most current release of the software. Early units demonstrate how to construct three-dimensional models of designs, piece parts, and assemblies. From these models, users will learn to produce detailed engineering drawings that are fully annotated with notes and standard dimensioning practices. Learners will later become skilled at producing free-hand sketches of piece parts from both principal orthographic and isometric views of the object. Finally, users will create a self-directed or course-defined project consisting of the assembly as a solid model, the assembly drawings, and detailed drawings fully dimensioned and annotated as required for fabrication.

3 out of 5 stars Good book, DVD is handy   November 7, 2004

The book is good, but the DVD tends to be more useful when looking for options and tools. The DVD must be played with the supplied player on the DVD, and this may be hard to find if you don't look for it and the autorun does not load. Normal DVD programs cannot play the DVD content of the disk.

Not the best text book I've used.

DVD does not appear to work, having tried three different working DVD drives and players. Package seal (probably illegally) says once broken that you foreit all return rights.

The book is based around tutorials, a lot of space is devoted to listing what you will be doing and the "course" structure. Once past the initial, and confusing parts, the rather basic illustrations do give you a reasonably structured introduction to using the application, and solid modelling.

Perhaps OK for students, but does seem rather expensive, considering the DVD apparently does not work in the UK.
