Pretty good. Aug 21, 2007
This is a good reference manual for looking up how to do things that one might have forgotten or not yet learned. But it is not as good as David S. Kelly's CATIA for Design and Engineering for getting beginners up and running. Nevertheless, it gives much more information than Kelly's thin book, and is a good resource. It has at least two shortcomings. First, there are many errors in the text and even a few in the illustrations. Example: Chapter 9 is titled "Working with Wireframe and Surface Design Workbench" and you are told to start that workbench; but Chapter 9 actually deals with the "Generative Shape Design Workbench" (GSDW), and the icon shown on page 9-2 for creating circles is available only in the latter workbench. Further, the tool bar titled "Curves," shown on page 9-3, is available only in the Generative Shape Design Workbench. The tool bar pictured there must be from an earlier release because it has only two tools on it. Release 13 has three tools on it. (R15 added a fourth.) The whole of Chapter 9 deals with the GSDW, and not the Wireframe workbench, and the tools shown and described therein are generally not available in Wireframe. There are many more errors in the book. A second shortcoming is that it works exclusively in the metric system, ignoring the fact that over 90% of American engineering is performed in inches and pounds. Despite its shortcomings, the book is a useful reference. But Tickoo needs a competent editor.

All Good Nov 23, 2005
This is a very comprehensive and detailed book for beginners and
for engineers who want to use it as a quick reference guide.

all good

This book is Fantastic Feb 15, 2005
I have just bought this book Catia for Designers as I am now entering the Catia world for the first time. I have been heavily involved in ProEngineer for the past 14 years.

The book is fantastic!

Learning made easy Jan 21, 2005
Catia is not as easy to learn as some other programs and so it becomes more imrportnat for a book on this software to explain commands properly. This book has done it exceptionally well. I bought this book after trying to learn catia myself for few weeks. I could not learn it myself and so I started using this book. Within a few weeks of using this book, I have learnt a lot of commands and can now create most of the models in this book. I think it is a great thing to happen. I must thank the author of this book for providing such a great boook.
