Engineering Graphics with SolidWorks 2013 and Video Instruction DVD Pap/DVD Edition

There were times when the lack of proof reading or editing became pretty obvious, but there was never anything that took away from the overall effectiveness of the book. All basic drafting methods are covered, as well as basic assemblies and mates. While any theory behind electronic drafting is rarely discussed, the author teaches by having student perform a series of specific steps to create a part or assembly, and this learn by doing approach is still effective. Using only this book and the tutorials included with the Solidworks software I was able to pass the Certified Solidworks Associate Exam on the first try with a perfect score. This book actually covers somewhat past the material that's on the exam and begins an introduction to basic flow modeling and other more advanced methods.

Purchased a used version of this book as they are out of date. Tutorial DVD is broken which is a risk of purchasing this book used. Book is in tact so still very useful.

Perfect condition

Great book. Was required by my professor. I bought used and it was in great shape and I hope to sell it that way as well. I'm not an avid reader of Solidworks books so I'm not sure if the content is good for all but I'm learning from it where I don't think i could have taught myself.
