Part II. Building Intelligence into Your Parts
The chapters of Part II take you beyond the basic modeling tools so you can start taking advantage of the parametric options within SolidWorks. Chapter 6 acquaints you with the entire breadth of sketching tools and techniques available in SolidWorks. Chapter 7 assists you in finding the right tool for the right job. Chapter 8 debunks some myths about patterning and mirroring and helps you establish good modeling practices. The equations in Chapter 9 are, of course, one of the quintessential strengths of parametric modeling tools. Chapter 10 introduces the concept of configurations, which will help you model variable driven models more quickly and efficiently. Chapter 11 sums it all up with what I consider to be the most important information in the book (editing), and helps you decide whether your model is "good enough" through evaluation.
