Product Description
SolidWorks 2008 Tutorial with MultiMedia CD is written to assist students, designers, engineers, and professionals. The book provides an introduction to the SolidWorks 2008 User Interface (UI); CommandManager, Task Pane, Menus, Toolbars, and general concepts, and modeling techniques to create parts, assemblies, and drawings. Follow the step-by-step procedures and develop multiple assemblies that combine over 80 extruded machined parts and components. Formulate the skills to create, modify, and edit sketches and solid features. Learn the techniques to reuse features, parts, and assemblies through symmetry, patterns, copied components, design tables, and configurations. Desired outcomes and usage competencies are listed for each project. Know your objective up front. Follow the step-by step procedures in Project 1 through Project 4 to achieve your design goals. Work between multiple documents, features, commands, and custom properties that represent how engineers and designers utilize SolidWorks in industry. The book is designed to compliment the SolidWorks 2008 Tutorials and Help files. The goal is to illustrate how multiple design situations and systematic steps combine to produce successful projects. The authors developed the industry scenarios by combining their own industry experience with the knowledge of engineers, department managers, vendors, and manufacturers. These professionals are directly involved with SolidWorks everyday. Their responsibilities go far beyond the creation of just a 3D model. Table of Contents

 Very helpful March 19, 2008

This is the second SolidWorks book which I purchased from Amazon.com in the past month. As a new SolidWorks user, I'm looking for a book / books that provide insight and a general exposure to the User Interface and how to use, apply, edit and learn the software in context to an Engineering approach. This book does a great job in doing this.
The book spends time in describing the functions, features, and tools which are available in SolidWorks whiling creating useful models. The book also provides a systematic approach in teaching the user how to use the software. Throughout the chapters, the authors reiterate what was stated in the previous chapter. This is very helpful to the new user.
The book CD contains movie and model files to view and use. I highly recommend this book for any new SolidWorks user.

The disc is merely them running through the tutorials at a rather fast speed. I need to look again for hands-on usage, have seen none so far. The book seems detailed, may be a bit tedious, but good for reference.

I'm relatively new to SolidWorks. I've been using SolidWorks for approximately three months. I used AutoCAD and a little PRO/E for ten years. I worked in the Automotive industry; Educational department, and now teach technology / engineering classes for a living.
From the sounds of most reviews, you either are a beginner or an expert using SolidWorks. I'm no expert with 3D CAD, but I do know text books, students, and the way they learn.
I'm teaching a SolidWorks evening class at a Community College this Spring. I purchased this book to better understand SolidWorks and to learn additional features, commands, and design techniques. I was also looking for a text book which would be useful to my students.
The book provides clear and concise procedures in a Project base approach with an incorporated CD to view the actual User Interfaces, and features which are used in the book. The CD also contains additional useful models.
The illustrations are large, clear with bolded step by step procedures. This is essential in a classroom environment when you have 15 or more students at various skill levels.
I look forward in using this book in my classroom. This is a great text book for learning SolidWorks at a beginner to intermediate level.
