Great Book,
By "jbsand11" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawing and Detailing with SolidWorks 2003 (Paperback)
Somebody just wrote a very useful book to translate the ANSI Y14 standards for SolidWorks drawings. I always thought the ANSI setting in Document Properties was a little miss leading. Our VAR says this makes the software flexible and users develop their own templates!!! OK. So now it is my job to develop our new templates, a task given to the new guy. My company developed their current standards based on ANSI Y14-1984, so in 20 years we finally took another look. Finally a decision was made to update to SolidWorks and update our engineering documentation practices. We looked at purchasing ASME Y14.1 - Y14.5 1994 and then I read this book. The authors go thought the painful process of relating the document properties to the Y14 standard. This was a real time saver. We create 10 - 20 sheets per drawing. Who makes a drawing with just three views? The authors also provide the work arounds to create Y14 drawing views, not on the Drawing toolbar such as detailed section, half section, revolved section, removed views and secondary auxiliary. I actually emailed the publisher about a question on the Bill of Materials item order. The author email me back with an answer and a solution to two days. That was great.

An improved Version over 2001/Plus,
By Terry S. (St. Charles, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawing and Detailing with SolidWorks 2003 (Paperback)
This book is an improved version over the 2001/Plus Book. I enjoyed the 2001/Plus version, but it was lacking in Drawing information. The book now contains strong detailing and drawing information. The 2003 version exercises addresses min/max layout sketches that are developed into parts in a belt drive assembly. This is very helpful if you are importing geometry from layout sketches in Autocad. The book was updated with new 2003 fit/tolerance commands and default properties for BOMS and configurations. Thank you, "authors" for listening to your customers!!!

Another Good book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drawing and Detailing with SolidWorks 2003 (Paperback)
This is the second book that I purchased from Planchard and Planchard. I have being looking for a book to translate the ANSI Y14 standards for SolidWorks drawings. I agree with one of the reviewers that "I always thought the ANSI setting in Document Properties was a little miss leading". This book saved me a great deal of time and pain. Thank you.
