5Nice Book for Beginners  Nov 06, 2007
Im new to Solidworks, and after going through the book, I feel pretty comfortable using the software. In the exercises the book covers, you build various parts and sub-assemblies. At the end of the book, you put it all together and end up with the assembly shown on the cover of the book. So basically, you'll be able to do that when you're done with the tutorial. Nice book, I only wish it covered Importing from AutoCAD. It completely ignores the subject. Other than that, I was happy with it.

5The SolidWorks book to have for the beginner  Jun 12, 2007
This is a great step-by-step book for the SolidWorks user who is a beginner. I've been using SolidWorks for approximately three months. The book provides a solid foundation and a straight forward logical procedure to follow. The enclosed CD-ROM is priceless. The CD provides a solid foundation to learn the fundamentals of SolidWorks. Read, watch, learn, and do. Great book.

5Look no further for a great SolidWorks Book  Apr 10, 2007
I`m a Mechanical Design Engineer by profession. I have over 20 years in the CAD industry primarily with AutoCAD, SDRC, and Pro/E, and the last three years using SolidWorks. SolidWorks, by far is the most intuitive 3D CAD package out there today!

A few years ago, I decided to leave industry, and I now teach at a mid size college in Texas. I teach four freshmen sections of SolidWorks, along with evening and weekend SolidWorks classes.

I, like many instructors who are teaching a software class review numerous books, for potential classroom text and lecture notes. Last year, my local VAR recommended the SolidWorks Tutorial book by Planchard & Planchard. The book provides an excellent foundation in a timely step-by-step procedure with numerous illustrations to clearly enforce the chapter desire outcomes and objectives.

The book is suited well for a classroom / learning environment. It is also great as a self learning tool either for a student or an adult. The material is clearly presented, in a very logical manner. It starts with the SolidWorks Interface, moves to 2D sketches, and then progresses to 3D features: Extruded Boss/Base, Extruded Cut, Extruded Revolved, Loft, Swept, etc. The features are then applied to build parts, assemblies, and drawings.

Part, assembly, and drawing fundamentals and foundations are addressed. This is a great book for the beginner in SolidWorks.
