I-DEAS Student Guide

The I-DEAS Student Guide Revised Edition--created by Mark Lawry--provides the "big picture" of the powerful EDS software product I-DEAS, and shows its use as an integrated CAD/CAM environment for concurrent engineering. The book provides a quick technical introduction to I-DEAS, including the new I-DEAS version 10, and is ideal for users who want to learn other capabilities of the software. Numerous screen captures provide a visual parallel to the explanations given in the text.

The Student Guide covers basic commands and procedures, in a format that makes for convenient reference. The chapter-ending section includes a series of Tutorials that demonstrate basic concepts in a hands-on way. Workshop sections follow the Tutorials, and allow users to apply their knowledge in a design context.

The Appendix of the book includes an Icon Summary list, a section on Advanced Features and Interfaces, and a practical Troubleshooting Reference. The Index is set up to further increase the reference value of the Student Guide.
