Customer Reviews & Comments
If you think all Inventor 2008 books are created equal, there NOT! I found that out the hard way, after buying another Inventor book before I got this one. This book is SIX times! better than the other one I got. Much more information and their teaching (style) is great. Detailed, they take the time to show all available tools /options and methods in creating sketches, features, parts and assys. And I enjoyed the good Tips they insert in each lesson. You'll also get to see your options in Tools /Applications & Documents. . What I also appreciated was the style that these authors presented these lessons. (detailed, but consise). If there's 3 ways of doing something - they tell you all 3. Includes tons of pics of dialog boxes and models (even complex models and drawings), to be sure you see what they are talking about. . Inventor 2008 essentials plus book is for the beginner as well as the advanced user. And doesn't waste your time. You're always learning. and the tips are great. It brings a novice gracefully up to the advanced level - and teaches pretty much everything Inventor 2008 offers. (ie using 3D grips, doing a 3D sketch, creating iParts and BOM's, using the hardware library, using the frame generator, converting a 2D dwg to a 3D model, sheetmetal, how to work with projects, and much more). If you want a complete book to learn Inventor, I highly recommend Inventor 2008 Essentials Plus book. Note, its 925 pages because there's a lot to learn. Highly recommend this book.
