5.0 out of 5 stars Learning made easy, January 21, 2005

This review is from: CATIA for Designers V5R13 (Paperback)

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.

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!
