Book description
A comprehensive resource packed with information for both beginners
and advanced users
SolidWorks is the leading 3D solid modeling software used in
computer-aided design. It's powerful but not simple. This complete
guide introduces beginners to the software but then goes far beyond,
covering numerous details that advanced users have requested.
Beginners will learn not only how the software works but why, while
more experienced users will learn all about search criteria,
Pack-and-Go, other file management concepts, and much more. A valuable

assemblies along with many example files used in the text.
Additionally, the text of the book is augmented by video tutorials
with author voice-over which can be found on the website.
