Great Book For Beginner or Intermediate User!
I struggled to learn Autodesk inventor on my own before I got this book. I was an experienced AutoCad 14, 2000 user and was having a hard time changing over to 3D modeling. Autodesk Inventor R5 Fundamentals provided excellent instruction for a 3D modeling novice. The book is laid out very nicely and has extremely easy to follow step-by-step instructions and explanations. I would strongly recommend this book for anybody that is going from a 2D CAD program to Autodesk Inventor. Additionally, the book comes with a CD that takes the user through various tutorials. I use this feature frequently. The only reason I did not give the book 5 stars is because I felt the index was slightly lacking. I could not always find the topic I was looking for in the index. And I felt the price was a bit steep for being a paperback without color drawings. However, I would not let these minor things prevent me from buying this book.

already impressed!!
hello i'm a student from the netherlands and I just started reading this book about Inventor. after the "quick look" I was already impressed about the quantity of information this book can give about Inventor. for me it should be perfect when it was also availeble in dutch, but books about inventor are hard to find so I have to deal with this book. I'm sure that this book will teach me a lot about Inventor R5 and I will recommend it to everyone who just started using Inventor.

Great Book
I currently teach Inventor using this material as class courseware. What the authors do cover they cover in detail. I have yet to see a more comprehensive section on "Projects" in Inventor. Where most authors skim over topics, and expect you to know what a particular option in a dialog does, these guys have gone through the trouble of including definitions for all options within the dialog. For example, if you are wondering what the "Preserve Features" option in fillet dialog means, this book will tell you. I have seen other examples where this book gives a description of a certain command, that contradicts the online help system. Guess what though, the book was right, the online documentation was wrong. There are more topics covered in this book than other Inventor Fundamental books I have seen. Everthing from Extrusions, to sweeps (yes sweeps are covered on page 164) and a bunch more in between. If your goal is to learn Inventor, this book will get you there.
