Introduces new users to the SolidWorks interface, SolidWorks tools and basic modeling techniques. It provides you with a strong understanding of SolidWorks and covers the creation of parts, assemblies and drawings. Every lesson and exercise in this book was created based on real world projects. Each of these projects has been broken down and developed into easy and comprehensible steps.

Get to grips with leading 3D engineering and product design application to design robust 3D models and achieve CSWA and CSWP certification. Gain comprehensive insights into the core aspects of 3D modeling's mechanical parts; Learn how to generate assembly designs with both standard and advanced mates; Discover design practices for both 2D as well as 3D modeling and prepare to achieve CSWP and CSWA certification. SOLIDWORKS is the leading choice for 3D engineering and product design applications across industries such as aviation, automobile, and consumer product design. This book helps you to get up and running with SOLIDWORKS and understand each new concept and tool with the help of easy-to-follow exercises.

This book provides new and seasoned users with step-by-step procedures on creating and modifying 3D models, working with cameras and lights, assigning materials to objects, rendering, and printing. Unlike many AutoCAD competitors, it uses both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad tools for thispopular application. Use the companion CD to set up drawing exercises and projects and see all of the book's figures including color. AutoCAD 2023 3D Modelingincludes 50 "mini-workshops," that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation of full projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2023.

Learn techniques for making, modifying, and managing AutoCAD 2D and 3D drawings Understand how to use reusable and named objects like blocks, xRef, and layers Scale, annotate, and print drawings from model space and layout. AutoCAD is one of the most versatile software applications for architectural and engineering designs and the most popular computer-aided design (CAD) platform for 2D drafting and 3D modeling. This hands-on 2nd edition guide will take you through everything you need to know to make the most out of this powerful tool, from a simple tour of the user interface to using advanced tools.
