Autodesk Inventor 2017 (R1): Introduction to Solid Modeling - Part 2: Autodesk Authorized Publisher

Great Info

Thanks

Exelent

Purchased this upon completing part 1. I was proficient at Acad 3d drawing some years back and largely still proficient with 2d cad drawing. This is part 2 and builds on the part 1 book. These books both seem to be directed toward someone with some degree of cad skills and some knowledge of 3d drafting. I would rate the book fairly high on the tutorial guide however, it does start skipping the actual tutorial instruction and expects you to know how to draw certain parts. This is not a problem but it would be a welcome addition for there to be a note or signal that the reader is expected to draw the part shown. Most tutorials were pretty clear, however, like any book of this nature there are some gaps where something isn't clear. In some cases that's not a bad thing since it requires the user to work through the program on their own or do additional research. All in all, I would recommend the book. One major deficiency or gap is a thorough section on drawings and title blocks. It's seems as if it's almost an after thought that some was included. There might be a part 3 that will cover it but I haven't seen it yet.

thanks!

Usual excellent standard of material from Ascent. Instructions are clear & well laid out. Supporting files (downloaded from the web site) are also excellent. Files are from an FTP site though, which can be an issue from some business networks.

Perfect, as expected.
