Summary: The Best Book out there!
Review: I would highly recommend this book for users that have to create assemblies. It is the best book out there using SolidWorks. The book provides a step-by-step approach that is great. The book addresses: top-down design, in-context mates, redefining external references, renaming parts, menus, commands, importing Autocad files, drawings etc. It is packed with go and useful information. PS: And you can understand it!

Summary: Great Assembly book
Review: My company switched from Autocad to SolidWorks 6 months ago. Assemblies were giving us a challenge. I would highly recommend this book for users that have to create assemblies. The authors step you through real issues - importing Autocad files, renaming parts, drawings with configuration, top-down design, in-context mates and redefining external references. The CD with the book contains real parts and assemblies from SolidWorks 3D collaborative web site. The tables and tips are also helpful.
