5.0 out of 5 stars A New User of Pro/SHEETMETAL, June 15, 2000

By	John Whittler (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews

People are very interesting. I do not agree nor understand the last reviewer, "No comments". I do agree with the other reviewers in that this is a great book. This is a must have book for anyone who is starting with a very difficult module. The book explains how to use the basic features in a clear step by step approach. Most books are not written this way. They assume that you already know the subject matter. Before this book, I was very frustrated with the quality of documentation from PTC. I was ready to give up! After a few chapters in this book, I was able to create parts on my own. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is frustrated with the lack and quality of documentation from PTC or third party authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend Intro to Pro/Sheetmetal, April 11, 2000

By A Customer

I highly recommend Intro to Pro/Sheetmetal as an interesting and effective guide to using the Pro/Sheetmetal module. Creating the various projects in this book helped me gain proficiency with Pro/Sheetmetal, and also helped develop my overall Pro/E modeling skills. The instructions during the Sketcher parts of the exercises helped me incorporate Intent Manager into my modeling. They also helped me to dimension walls from their appropriate surfaces. The chapter that explains how set up a Family Table for a Flat Instance was extremely helpful, especially when sending files to sheet metal vendors that have Pro/E. Intro to Pro/Sheetmetal was a big help to me in understanding the basic parts of the Pro/Sheetmetal module.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intro to Pro/SHEETMETAL review, April 14, 2000

By	David Miles (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews

I agree with the reader from Boston, MA. I learned quite a bit from the book. Before I purchased it, I literally had no Pro/SHEETMETAL experience. I now have a good solid understanding of Pro/SHEETMETAL. The book was geared more towards novice Pro users, but the more experienced users can just skim over some of the basic information. The lessons were enjoyable and I think the book could be used a reference tool also.
