Mechanical Desktop 5: Parametric Modeling

Summary: Lacks a crucial element
Review: What a disappointment - this is a fairly decent book for Mechanical Desktop 5, but ALL instructions pertain to the command line prompt codes (not the toolbar).

For those of you who don't know what I'm referring to: Autocad gives you two main ways to execute commands - by typing in 8 to 10 letter codes (the old way), or by clicking on the toolbar buttons (the more user-friendly way). In some cases, you have no choice and must use the code commands, however this book makes no mention of the toolbar buttons that relate to what they're doing. Unless you are 'old school' and plan on trying to memorize hundreds of command codes, forget about this book - its no help.
