 Does not cut the mustard July 15, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The book is absolutely not for the beginner or the intermediate user. It should say Experts ONLY! And even then? I've been using SolidWorks for approximately 15 months, and got very frustrated trying to understand the book.
It does have many items on surfacing, mostly theory, but does not provide many practical tutorials or detail instructions. It reminds me of a person jumping off a cliff who thinks they can fly. There is no CD in the book with models to back engineer, if you can not follow the text. The book does not cut the mustard and the writing style is poor. I think I need a VAR class?
Learning Solidworks Surfacing from this book July 4, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is not as good as the author's "bible" in that this one does not have as many step by step tutorials. This one covers Solidworks 2008 and 2007 mostly. I was impressed with the author's bible book so I ordered this one too. If he added more tutorials instead of writing mostly theory and details of Surfacing it would be easier too learn. The print quality of the book with colored images is very good. It did not come with a cd of tutorial files and the book in pdf format. You are told to visit website for tutorial files. So I recommend the book but it is not for beginners.
 An excellent companion to Matt's SolidWorks 2007 Bible May 19, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this book along with Matt's "SolidWorks 2007 Bible" for those wanting to get the most out of SolidWorks. I am very impressed with the content and layout of this book. Very easy to read and the color illustrations are perfect for understanding the material. Matt's writing is clear and concise. When I first heard that this book was being written, I eagerly awaited its release. Now that I have gone through the book, it has far exceeded my expectations. Well done.
Very good book for advanced part modeling May 6, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I believe this to be the best SolidWorks book for advanced part modeling currently available on the market. This is a good and informative book aimed at the intermediate/expert SolidWorks user.
A good understanding of SolidWorks is required to get the most from this book.
The book covers all the advanced features available in SolidWorks in detail and where it can it tells you where you would use a particular feature.
The title is self explanatory. This book is primarily aimed at people that do consumer product design where appearance and smooth surfaces are required.
The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is because I believe there is always room to make things better. That said, this is my best SolidWorks book yet.
