Good book, Makes learning SolidWorks easy

Overall speaking, this is a good book. The step by step (click by click) instructions makes learning the software easy and would bring a SolidWorks novice to a certain level depending on his/her CAD background. Highly recommended for people who don't have any Solidworks knowledge. I would give it a 5 of 5 if the author would fix some of minor mistakes in the book and add an index at the back like one other reviewer pointed out.

terrific book

This is a terrific book using part and assembly creation in a project situation. The book provides a very useful step-by-step procedure. It is very easy to follow and to understand. I took a one-week SolidWorks course. I learned more from this book, than the $3,000 course. This is the only book that I have been able to obtain which provides information on Injection Molded Design using SolidWorks. There are good exercises in the back of each chapter.

Step-by step

This book gives an overview of each process, then takes each step clearly teaching how to aproach the projects. I found it very helpful in learning how to orient your thoughts in design and drafting. Looking forward to more texts.

Great Book

I an very happy with these authors. I purchased their 99 and 2000 SolidWorks books. They were good books. The 2001 book is great. I enjoyed the sections on Top Down Assembly and the Injection Molded Design Projects. The book is easy to follow. It has a great new step by step command approach. More books shoud be written this way.
