2.0 out of 5 stars High level overview, May 31, 2005

By 

Engineer Luke (Warsaw, IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Practical Unigraphics NX Modeling for Engineers (Paperback)

This book hardly provides any more information than Unigraphic's built in help menu. This book contains "projects" that lead the user through different exercises, however the instructions for the projects are often vague and not clear. I often had to refer back to the built in help menu to complete the exercises.
The sixth project in chapter 6 "Form Features" does not adequately explain how to create a guide string to sweep your string sketch along. I had to refer to the help menu to figure this part out.
I would not recommend this book to others.
