4.0 out of 5 stars
Mechanical Desktop 4.0 Quick Reference on my desktop,
This review is from: Mechanical Desktop 4.0 Quick Reference (Paperback)
This book has a nice layout. Each command section has an example of the toolbar, a 3d model, and a brief discription of the command and what to expect. Commands are layed out A-Z and a small section in front covers whats new in 4.0 and customization. Good book for the MDT user that has graduated from the basics.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Mechanical Desktop 4.0 Quick Reference (Paperback)
Being a student myself, i find this book very useful to navigate my way around the desktop browser. This book is easy to use & is explained in plain english. When working with several different packages, you need a reference like this to help with those commands you may have forgotten. Well worth buying!
