Parametric Modeling with SolidWorks 2008

Parametric Modeling with SolidWorks 2008 contains a series of twelve tutorial style lessons designed to introduce SolidWorks 2008, solid modeling and parametric modeling techniques and concepts. The text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important Parametric Modeling techniques and concepts. Each lesson introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous lessons. The lessons guide the user from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent solid models and assemblies and creating multi-view drawings. Table of Contents 1. Getting started 2.
