This textbook introduces readers to SolidWorks 2008, the world's leading parametric solid modeling package. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improve the productivity and efficiency of the user. The textbook consists of 17 chapters structured in a pedagogical sequence that makes the book very effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software. It covers the Part, Assembly, and Drawing modes of SolidWorks 2008. The highlight of this textbook is that it includes one chapter each on Sheet Metal Design and ConfigurationManager.

Every chapter begins with a command section that provides brief information of the commands and tools in SolidWorks 2008. The authors have adopted the tutorial-point-of-view with the learn-by-doing theme throughout the textbook. This approach allows the users to use this textbook initially as a learning tool and then later as a reference material. After reading the textbook, the user will be able to create parts, assemblies, drawing views with bill of materials, and also learn the techniques that are essential for designing multiple models of similar geometry with ease.

Some of the Salient Features of this textbook are as follows:
Special graphics are provided with the latest commands or tools, which allow the readers to recognize all the new additions and enhancements in SolidWorks 2008 with ease. The book consists of:

�    Detailed explanation of SolidWorks 2008 commands and tools
�    More than 75 real-world mechanical engineering designs used as tutorials and projects with step-by-step
      explanation
�    Emphasis on Why and How with explanation
�    Tips and Notes throughout the textbook
�    880 pages with heavily illustrated text
�    Self-Evaluation tests and exercises at the end of each chapter
