SOLIDWORKS 2017 and Engineering Graphics: An Integrated Approach combines an introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2017 with a comprehensive coverage of engineering graphics principles. This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to the basic concepts of Engineering Graphics, with in-depth discussions of parametric feature-based CAD techniques. Its sixteen chapters have detailed step-by-step tutorial style lessons, designed to introduce beginning CAD users to the graphics language used in technical industries. The text does not attempt to cover all SOLIDWORKS 2017 features; rather it provides a general introduction to the software. In total this work establishes a strong basis for exploring and growing in the field of Computer Aided Engineering.
