Maybe as an indroduction this book and its advanced brother would be useful as a free website recsource. However, when you consider the price they are not to impressive.... keep your money for a referance book (with an index) such as "Pro/Engineer Tips and Techniques", "Advanced Tips, Techniques and Work-arounds" or probably any other title.

I was a TA teaching ProENGINEER with a different book, and looked at several others when considering changing books. (We were not happy with the one we had, which was the first one available for 20, so we didn't have much choice at the time.) This is the book I recommended that the course change to - I felt it was well organized and thought out, and would be a good reference after the course was over.

This book was really meant as a textbook for Toogood's class in CAD, given at the University of Alberta. As such, it is really apparent that he took his hand-written overheads and just typed them out in book format; that is, this book is not much help to those with real questions about Pro/E.The lessons will be familiar to anyone who has taken the three-day course from either PTC or Rand - your binders have a lot more information than this book! The book is made even worse by the fact that there is no index; in this day of simply clicking the mouse to create an index this oversight is not forgiveable. Toogood does not give any details on many of the more fundamental issues associated with Pro/E such as ensuring that the config.pro file is set correctly. There is also very little information on working on anything more complicated than basic models since the sections on drawings and assemblies are very weak. The cd that comes with the book is not very good either; that is, if you can even view it. It should be in some other software and/or format since both of my computers come back with errors about "low system resources" when I try to run the program. In the end I had to find a rather old pc in order to run the disk. If you are the type of person who learns from listening to a disembodied voice drone on while an animated mouse points and clicks through Pro/E's many menus then this is the cd for you! For the rest of us, I'd suggest spending your money on the PTC manuals or else taking one of the official courses. Considering the price of this book you are not getting your money's worth!
My experience with this book. September 7, 2000

I have had the experience with CAD tools such as AutoCAD and SDRC I-DEAS, but I had no experience with Pro/E. So I bought this book to teach myself how to use Pro/E. This book is pretty easy for me to follow. I spent average 3 or 4 hours on each lesson. I didn't do the exercises in each lesson though(I am busy with other things too). Still, after going through the texts, I am confident to make drawings for production. Although my previous CAD experience might have helped me, I still think this book is very good for people who start to use Pro/E: basic topics are covered, which are enough to enable you to make models or drawings for fabrication. Just my 2 cents.
