He doesn't use the default interface windows (toolbar locations) - so it was confusing to me as a new user. I was comparing the book to my system. I hit a hot key by mistake which activated a selection filter, it took over 5 minutes before I realize that a filter was active and 5 minutes looking through the book to deactivate it. I gave up looking and blogged the question. The book index provided no help - filters page 1048 - featuremanger - no selection filters. This is a reference book?
Try to find information on an eDrawing using the index? There is no mention of the Universial Joint Mate or Add-ins. No examples or tutorials of the Curve feature, Equation Driven Curve, etc. - just definitions from SolidWorks. The more I look through the book, the more it does not have the items I'm looking for. THE ONLY GUIDE - NO WAY!!!
I couldn't open the files directly from the CD using SolidWorks. I was informed that for some of my confusion; it was due to older illustrations in the book (SolidWorks 2008, 2009 and 2010). For a newbie who is trying to following every word and step; this is confusing at times. I would not recommend this book for a new user.
