Book Reviews of A Commands Guide For Solidworks 2008 (Solidworks)
Book Review: The best SW Reference book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been combining my retraining in 3D modeling and learning SolidWorks specifics with the help of two SolidWorks books; Engineering Design with SolidWorks and A Commands Guide for SolidWorks. Both books deploy a step-by-step illustrated instruction approach.
I'm rather new to 3D. I found the two books to be extremely useful and easy to follow. In a previous life, I was an AutoCad VAR, although that is going back quite a few years. Part of my learning process has been unlearning some of my AutoCad approaches. This takes time, but is well worth it. SolidWorks is a great software package.
The Commands Guide for SolidWorks is excellent when it comes to short, quick, and informative tutorials, to quickly learn a subject topic or to understand a feature or tool. The CD is very helpful with both the initial and final models. The layout of the book provides a logically flow to learn. I took the time to write this review and will write a review for the Engineering Design with SolidWorks book, because I strongly believe that these books can help a new user and are the best books on the market today. I contacted the author for a question, which was trivial, but he responded to me in less than a day. WOW!
