The purpose of Beginner's Guide to SolidWorks 2007 is to help the student learn the basic concepts of SolidWorks and good solid modeling practices in an easy to follow guide. It is intended for the new SolidWorks user, users with experience in different CAD systems, and as a teaching aid in classroom training. After completing the exercises in this book, the student will have a good understanding of the SolidWorks interface and the most commonly used commands for part modeling, assembly and detailing by completing a project designing all the components, their 2D drawings and assembly drawing with Bill of Materials. The book is focused on the processes to complete a certain task, instead of focusing on individual operations, which are generally simple enough to learn.

This book is intended to help new users learn the basic concepts of SolidWorks and good solid modeling techniques in an easy to follow guide. It will be a great starting point for those new to SolidWorks or as a teaching aid in classroom training to become familiar with the software's interface, basic commands and strategies as the user completes a series of models while learning different ways to accomplish a particular task. At the end of this book, the userwill have a good understanding of the SolidWorks interface and the most commonly used commands for part modeling, assembly and detailing after completing a series of components and their 2D drawings including a Bill of Materials. The book is focused on the processes to complete the design of a part, instead of focusing on individual software commands or operations, which are generally simple enough to learn. We strived hard to include the commands required in the Certified SolidWorks Associate test as listed in the SolidWorks website, and some more.  SolidWorks is an easy to use CAD software that includes many time saving tools that will enable new and experienced users to complete design tasks faster than before. Most commands covered in this book have advanced options, which may not be covered in this book. This is meant to be a starting point to help new users to learn the basic and most frequently used commands.  SolidWorks is on of the leading 3D mainstream design CAD packages, with hunderds of thousands of users in the industry renging from one man shops to Fortune 500 companies, and with a strong presence in the educational market in high schools, vocational schools, and many of the leading universities in the world.

Beginner's Guide to SolidWorks 2011 Level I

SDC Publications

Beginner's Guide to SolidWorks 2011 Level II starts where Beginner s Guide Level I ends, following the same easy to read style, but this time covering advanced topics and techniques. 
The purpose of this book is to teach advanced techniques including sheet metal, surfacing, how to create components in the context of an assembly and reference other components (Top-down design), propagate design changes with SolidWorks parametric capabilities, mold design, welded structures, and more while explaining the basic concepts of each trade to allow the reader to understand the how and why of each operation. 
The author uses simple examples to allow the reader to better understand each command and environment, as well as to make it easier to explain the purpose of each step, maximizing the learning time by focusing on one task at a time. 
The book is focused on the processes to complete the modeling of a part, instead of focusing on individual software commands or operations, which are generally simple enough to learn. 
At the end of this book, the reader will have acquired enough skills to be highly competitive when it comes to designing with SolidWorks, and while there are many less frequently used commands and options available that will not be covered in this book, rest assured that those covered are most of the commands used every day by SolidWorks designers. 
The author strived hard to include the commands required in the Certified SolidWorks Associate test as listed in the SolidWorks website, and some more.
