In Detail
The Commands Guide Tutorial for SolidWorks® 2010 is a comprehensive reference book written to assist the beginner to intermediate user of SolidWorks
2010. 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, 3D Feature tools,
Motion Study, Sustainability Xpress, DFMXpress, SimulationXpress,
Sheet Metal, PhotoView 360 and more.
Chapter 1 provides a basic overview of the
concepts and terminology used throughout this book using SolidWorks 2010
software. If you are completely new to SolidWorks, you should
read Chapter 1 in detail and complete Tutorial 1, Tutorial 2, and
Tutorial 3 in the SolidWorks Tutorials.
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 to any section in any
chapter.
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 230 plus tutorials
are provided on the enclosed book CD with their solution (initial
and final). Learn by doing, not just reading!
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, configurations and more.
The book is designed to
compliment the Online Tutorials and Online Help contained in
SolidWorks 2010. The goal is to illustrate how multiple design
situations and systematic steps combine to produce successful
designs.
