SW Books

Anyone suggest some good SW books. I have been doing SW for about 3
years. I am lookin to learn some more about design tables.

I am new to the forum so any tips would help.

Thanks,

 

Well, I've got a book, which is finally in stock, which covers most SW
topics. Check it out at http://dezignstuff.com/blog/solidworks-2007-bible/

You can also get free stuff on my website, like user group presentations.

Go to the User Groups link on the left.

Good luck,

Matt,

Oddly ironic that this request comes on the heals of your grand
release, Matt?

Yeah, I know, it looks like a cheesy set up, but I didn't do it. If I
were going to be self promoting, I just do it blatantly, and come right
out and say "buy my stuff". I debated replying because either way it was
going to look like I did it, especially since it was right before my
response to another thread. It's a tough thing to not look cheesy no
matter what you do when you suddenly have something to sell. Maybe
people will remember that for the last 10 years I've given away a lot of
stuff on this newsgroup too.

 

Hey, you wrote it, stand up & hawk it to the world! Don't be ashamed!
Here, repeat after me - "Hey, I just wrote an excellent book on the subject.
Check it out and buy it if it looks good." Now, don't you feel better??

I agree with Wayne,

Be VERY cheesy, Let the world know!
Blog everything that moves, lol

This will ensure that every solidworks user will be, not just good, but
great at their job!
That's good isn't it?

 

Thanks, for the tip. I will go check it out. Did you really write the
book? That is awsome..

 

Yeah, I really wrote the book. That or I blacked out for 5 months.
Anyway, I hope you like it.

 

Nice work. I wonder if we can get SolidWorks to send us a copy for
our measly $1,300 maintenance fee now that we don't get printed
manuals?

Matt, my copy of the SW bible is in transit from Amazon and I'm
looking forward to using it. I've always found your advice interesting
and frequently helpful. I wish my co-workers would get interested in
learning more than the bare minimum. It's hard to get them to even
check the help files, let alone get a reference book on SW. After
seven years I'm getting tired of answering questions on how to cut a
hole near a bend line and explaining the difference between flatten
and unfold/fold.

Aside from that, the books by the Planchards that I used on drawings
and assemblies (2003 version) have been great. Others are worthwhile
going thru as well; you can always pick up another helpful tip and
best practices info.
