THE BLUE DOT BOOK About Solid Edge (V14)  

THE BLUE DOT BOOK About Solid Edge is designed and written to teach engineering professionals how to use Solid Edge's surface modeling commands.  This book details commands in a five-part format for easy learning and comprehension. The five parts include: 1) “what” the commands are;  2) “where” commands are located; 3) “how” and when to use each command in a real modeling setting;  4) maybe most important of all “why” to use a command; and 5) an example of using each command on a real model. The book covers all the surface modeling commands  of Solid Edge. THE BLUE DOT BOOK sells for $89.99. (Available starting with version 14.)
