A Commands Guide Tutorial for SolidWorks
2007 is
written to assist the beginner to intermediate user of SolidWorks®
2007. The book provides a centralized reference location to address
many of the System and Document properties, FeatureManagers,
PropertyManagers, ConfigurationManagers, and RenderManagers along
with 2D and 3D Sketch tools, Sketch entities, and 3D Feature tools
in SolidWorks.
Chapter 1 provides a basic overview of the
concepts and terminology used throughout this book using SolidWorks
2007 software. If you are completely new to SolidWorks, you should
read Chapter 1 in detail and complete Tutorial 1, Tutorial 2, and
Tutorial 3.
If you are familiar with an earlier release of
SolidWorks, you might still want to skim Chapter1 to get acquainted
with some of the new commands, menus, and features that you
haven’t used; or you can simply jump ahead to Chapter 2.
Each chapter provides detailed PropertyManager
information on key topics with individual stand- alone short
tutorials to reinforce and demonstrate the functionality and ease of
the SolidWorks tool or feature. All models for the 200+ tutorials
are provided on the enclosed book CD, along with their solutions.
As you use this book, you will formulate the
skills to create, modify and edit sketches and solid features. You
will also learn the techniques to reuse features, parts and
assemblies through symmetry, patterns, copied components, design
tables, and configurations.
