Reviewing the system

Troubleshooting during the

install of the CD

T

he only file you see on this book’s companion CD-ROM is a single
Zip file. Extract the contents of the file to your hard drive in a loca-
tion that is easy to access. The CD contains example and tutorial
parts, assemblies, and drawings, as well as templates, macros, and tables as
appropriate for each chapter. The files are organized within folders for each
chapter and are named for the chapter and the function they demonstrate.
Some of the files are starting points for tutorials, and some are finished mod-
els meant to be examined.

If you make changes to files, I recommend that you use the Save As com-
mand (File ➪ Save As) to keep the original file intact. You also can retrieve
originals from the CD again if needed.

Caution

I do not recommend that you open files directly from the CD or from the Zip

file, because SolidWorks will respond with messages about read-only files. n

System Requirements

Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements

listed in this section. If your computer doesn’t match up to these require-

ments, you may have a problem using the contents of the CD.
