This review is from: Using Autodesk Inventor 6 (Paperback)

The reason why I bought a software book through the internet is to master the software immediately and to enhance my efficiency in doing actual work. By following the step by step exercises from the textbook and the CD that accompanied it, ¡°Using AutoDesk Inventor 6¡± allowed me to know the software in a few days. Besides being a good learning tool, this book is also a good reference because of its logical presentation. You can easily and quickly check up a command knowing its function and limitation. Even though it was written before the release of Inventor 7, which is the version I am using now, the book worked just as good for me as the difference between version 6 and 7 is so minimal. I would highly recommend this book to anyone using Inventor 6 or Inventor 7 who wants to fully explore the tools of the program.
