Mechanical Desktop(r): Parametric Solid and Assembly Modeling

This is one of the first books to explicitly relates the use of MECHANICAL DESKTOP«'S parametric solid and assembly modeling features to the mechanical design process used by engineering and industry professionals. Written by Steven Howell, a widely recognized authority in the field of CAD-based parametric modeling, this book presents parametric modeling and constraints in the context of real-world design applications and is ideal for self-paced, interactive training. The book begins with a simple 2D example illustrating parametric dimensioning and constraints. Succeeding chapters present advanced 3D construction and MECHANICAL DESKTOP«'S automatic drafting features.
