Designed for users of AutoCAD 13, this brief companion book teaches students and professional users of Mechanical Desktop how to create and edit 3D solid models using MD's built-in parametric modelling tools. It explains how to perform design-driven parametric modelling of complex assemblies, in which manipulation of a dimension in one part instantly adjusts the dimensions of related parts interactively and visually on the computer screen. MD's parametric modelling tools can automatically generate from a 3D model a complete set of 2D, multiple-view drawings - automating the process of creating technical 2D views for presentations; in addition, changes or edits made to the 2D views instantly modify the 3D model. These "documentation and inter-operation" capabilities are covered in this book. Companion books are Cheng's "Mastering Mechanical Desktop: Surface Modeling" and "Mastering Mechanical Desktop: Native Solids".

Tutorial Guides Through Frustration of Solid Modeling,
By
This review is from: Mastering Mechanical Desktop(r): Parametric Design (Paperback)
Ron Cheng provides a guide which walks the user through part & assembly modeling. Illustrations are decent and instructions are straight-forward. Criticism: Often the author refers to an illustration which occurs on a previous page during step by step instruction; which means the user has to flip back & forth between pages...this can be frustrating and slows one down. Also, there is no index in the back for quick reference. Good points: Cheng shows the various different ways commands can be used & leaves it to the reader to pick the preferred method.For the price, this is an excellent start for the user who wishes to learn Mechanical Desktop.
