Solid Modeling Using SolidWorks 2004, A DVD Solution

Rating:
Summary: Solid Work
Review: Not the best text book I've used.

DVD does not appear to work, having tried three different working DVD drives and players. Package seal (probably illegally) says once broken that you foreit all return rights.

The book is based around tutorials, a lot of space is devoted to listing what you will be doing and the "course" structure. Once past the initial, and confusing parts, the rather basic illustrations do give you a reasonably structured introduction to using the application, and solid modelling.

Perhaps OK for students, but does seem rather expensive, considering the DVD apparently does not work in the UK.

Summary: Good book, DVD is handy
Review: The book is good, but the DVD tends to be more useful when looking for options and tools. The DVD must be played with the supplied player on the DVD, and this may be hard to find if you don't look for it and the autorun does not load. Normal DVD programs cannot play the DVD content of the disk.
