I was using Solidworks for most of my college projects and things just can't get easier! The book will frequently do a comparison between AutoCad and Solidworks to illustrate the different concepts behind the two CAD programs. Recommended for new users to experienced AutoCAD users.

When I purchased this book I felt that it was excellent, it helped in the transition from 2D work to the 3D world. I would recomend this book for any one just starting out in Solid Works. It is also a very good reference for use later on.

4 out of 5 stars A very good book for learning the Solidworks software.   October 22, 1998

The book guides you through all aspects of the software with step by step instructions on how to use its many features. The thing which makes it better than most tutorials is that it often gives the why's and why not's of using certain methods in addition to the how to's. As the books title suggests it offers a transition from 2d Autocad to solid modeling with Solidworks. The book is not limited to use by Autocad users, anyone new to the software will find it very informative. Written at the Solidworks97 release, it was still very much up to date with Solidworks98.
