SolidWorks 2010 Bible

T

he chapters of Part II take you beyond the basic
modeling tools so you can start taking advantage of
the parametric options within SolidWorks. Chapter
6 acquaints you with the entire breadth of sketching tools
and techniques available in SolidWorks. Chapter 7 assists
you in finding the right tool for the right job. Chapter 8
debunks some myths about patterning and mirroring and
helps you establish good modeling practices. The equations
in Chapter 9 are, of course, one of the quintessential
strengths of parametric modeling tools. Chapter 10 intro-
duces the concept of configurations, which will help you
model variable driven models more quickly and efficiently.
Chapter 11 sums it all up with what I consider to be the
most important information in the book (editing), and
helps you decide whether your model is “good enough”
through evaluation.
