The book is another bad book from Roger Toogood. This will be the last time that I make this mistake!!! Does anyone want a book for free? The exercises are very poor. The book is poorly written and the graphic quality is ......... The book is very confusing and vague for the new user. I wonder about the advance user? After reading the book, I still do not understand Wildfire. The book is too wordy and is very vague. I am very surprise that he is selling books. I agree with one reviewer who wrote, "Its ludicrous to expect someone to read 3-4 pages to get to know something simple like modifying feature dimensions or setting references".

This is the perfect book to get up to speed with the advanced features of pro eng. I totally disagree with Mr Bruce Lee's comments. Looking at some of the bad reviews of this book, I seriously think that some of these are written to make other books look and sell better. Trust me, I have nothing to gain by writing this but just wanted to point out that it is an excellent tutorial. Don't listen to the negative reviews...this book is a goodun!!

I had used Pro/E version 20 for over 4 years when I switched to Wildfire. This book has greatly helped me find where things are in Wildfire (because they have moved things around so much), as well as learn a few things that I had never done in version 20, such as creating parts in Family Tables, assembly drawings with Repeat Regions and automated BOMs, etc. What I like about the book is that it is very clearly written, and gives you instructions step by step: "click on this", then "click on that", and so on. It has example exercises, and lots of graphics and pictures to help you along. Great book!
