1.0 out of 5 stars Skip this book and buy Inside Solidworks, January 25, 1999

By A Customer

This book provided very little useful information to enhance use of Solidworks. Inside Solidworks provided much more useful information.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a great introduction to feature-based modeling. It doesn't teach everything one needs to know about SolidWorks, but what it does teach, it does very well. I wish there were more books like this one that covered the advanced features of SolidWorks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for beginners, May 17, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a very helpful, step-by-step introduction to feature-based solids. It helped me understand the basics thoroughly before I tried to use the more advanced features of SolidWorks. Wysack's book doesn't tell you everything you need to know about this program, but it's a great start. I hope he writes more books like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent text and reference
This was a secondary text for a solid modelling class that I recently took. I believe that I personally drew 90% of the excercises with little difficulty. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars This book [is bad]!
This book is worthless. First, they don't tell you that what release of Solidworks this book covers until you find out for yoruself when you crack open the cover. Guess what? Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful.
This is a wonderful book for beginners who haven't taken SolidWorks dealer training or can't afford same. It has lots of practical design examples from real life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the trouble
Un-detailed, very overpriced. crude tutorials with insufficient explanations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Over priced and inadequate
The book only covered about 25% of the subject. This requires that you purchase other books, at a lower cost, that will cover the material as intended.

3.0 out of 5 stars An excellent companion book to the Solidworks user's guide.
The only disappointment to the book was that it didn't show enough example excerise. The given examples were easier to follow than the user's guide from Solidworks. Read more
