3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for newbies, not for experienced,

This review is from: Mechanical Desktop 3.0: Part Modeling (Student Manual) (Paperback)
As a former CAD instructor, I would rate this manual as an excellent primer for users new to the world of 3D design, but less usefull for a 3D pro trying to come up to speed quickly in MD3.0.There are many, many excellent examples of user/command interaction that will give the student a pretty quick handle on the flow of the program. Unfortunately, many of the more advanced concepts and/or functions are almost completely glossed over. A notable example is "toolbodys" which has only one minor reference in the entire 419 pages. Also the accompanying CD has many examples, that while explaining the function/command at hand, do little or nothing to reinforce prerequisites for (if necessary) for the function/command being demonstrated. While I haven't seen the instructor's manual, I sure hope it has a lot of backup info for an instructor in this topic. If it doesn't, a weak instructor will not be able to provide the requisite theory necessary for a student to adequately understand parametric solid modeling.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not as polished as the AutoDesk Tutorial, but good overall.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mechanical Desktop 3.0: Part Modeling (Student Manual) (Paperback)
I am a beginner-intermediate without formal training. I would recommend this book for those who are self taught, and are not past the intermediate stage of using MDT. The lessons are clear and logical but the tips sections are the best part. The tricks I learned there were well worth the price of the book. Speaking of price... Complaints: 1) High price. 2) The book doesn't go too deep into concepts. 3) The graphics were only fair.I plan on ordering the assembly book today.
