Differences between SolidWorks 2003 and 2001Plus?

Differences between SolidWorks 2003 and 2001Plus?

Differences between SolidWorks 2003 and 2001Plus?

(OP)
Hi everyone,

I am planning to start learning SW2003 soon and was wondering about the differences between 2001Plus and 2003. Will documentation suitable for 2001Plus still apply to a 2003 installation? Most books I havbe come across so far only cover  SW2001 and I do not wish to waste money on them if they come out to be useless.

As for my background, I've got some time on Catia V4 and V5 (about 6 months in all) and was looking to broaden my horizons.

Any hint about this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Differences between SolidWorks 2003 and 2001Plus?

For the most part yes the books will work. But there are some major differnece between SW03 and SW01 that these books won't apply to.

Example:

SW03 you can use multi-bodies now. So anything associated to that would be new.

You can save assemblies to parts now.

Those are some of the big changes that I like in SW03

There are some new books already out there:
www.connectpressbooks.com
www.amazon.com - run search on SW.

IHTH,

Thank you very much, Mr Baugh.

Your insight is really appreciated. I've already looked at the site you've mentionned. And it seems that Amazon.com is the only one that will ship to Canada (Amazon.ca has a smaller selection of outdated titles... Damn!). Once more, I'll be encouraging the american economy :)

Thanks again for your quick reply!
