Reviews


great book
i bought this book for my school course. i barely use this book. teacher use to give his own notes. lots of info if interested in inventor

Great book for beginners
I am completely new to Mechanical engineering. As a matter of fact, I am a computer engineer. I guess you can understand where I am coming from. This book helped me understand how to conceptualize and visualize parts and assemblies quickly. I can design simple machines now!

I wanted to learn Inventor and bought this book after reading all the other reviews of this book. I should admit that all those reviews are completely correct. This is THE book that you should buy if you want to learn Inventor.

Very disappointing
I worked with Autodesk Inventor Professional 10 for 1 year, and 2 month ago began with Inventor Professional 2008 to use the new tools. So I decided to buy this book based in the good reviews above. First I bought the Autodesk Inventor 8 Essentials Plus for 1 dollar, yes 1 dollar, and it was perfect with the tutorials included in the software to learn all about Inventor 10.
Inventor 2008 has a lot of new features, but the menus, and 95% of tools are still the same, you just have to learn the new features. So if you have some previous version of Inventor 2008 or have bought some old version book of the serie "essentials" don`t make a mistake to buy the last one, because it`s the same book with a few new topics, and you will find with the same exercises and the same text explained just a little bit better, but they are the same after all, and for $58 dollars more ( $1dollar the essential 8 plus)

If you want to learn deep about

-Dynamic Simulation
-Stress analysis
-Design accelerator
-Tube and pipe


Don`t buy this book, you won`t find nothing about.

INVENTOR 2008 ESSENTIALS PLUS
A BIT TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME. THE LESSONS TOOK TO MUCH FOR GRANITE. SOME OF THE EASY PARTS WERE MADE COMPLICATED BECAUSE OF A SMALL KEYSTROKE THAT I DID NOT KNOW. THERE ARE BETTER BOOKS.

Great Book
I've read many technical books in my day from computer programming to computer design. I bought this book based on the review before mine, and the reviewer is absolutely right. This is a great book!

The verbiage is concise, the information is broad and in-depth, and the tutorials help reinforce the material. Great for beginners through medium-advanced users.

A+ Book
