SolidWorks 2006: The Basics is a subset of Engineering Design with SolidWorks 2006. The book is designed for instructors that require a comprehensive hands-on, step-by-step text book approach to teach students using SolidWorks during a 6 - 12 week semester. The book provides a sound foundation on using SolidWorks in an engineering design environment. The book supplies a general introduction to the User interface, menus, toolbars and broad concepts and modeling techniques to create parts, assemblies and drawings. Follow the step-by-step instructions in 60 activities to develop eight parts, four assemblies, three drawings and six document templates. Formulate the skills to create and modify solid features to model a Flashlight assembly. Learn the techniques to reuse sketches and features through symmetry, patterns and design tables. Work between multiple documents, features, commands and properties that represent how engineers and designers utilize SolidWorks in industry. Review individual features, commands and tools for each project with the book's Multimedia CD and SolidWorks Online Help. The project exercises analyze and examine usage competencies based on the project objectives. CONTENTS: Introduction - About the Authors
