This is book that answers all my tough questions. I worked through the exercises and now use it as a reference handbook. I purchased this book for a class when the required text fell far short.

This is an excellent treatise on the subject of Autodesk Inventor - the most comprehensive volume I am aware of. Curtis Waguespack is a very talented engineer who brings a valuable wealth of experience to his writing. My only complaint is: following the instructions you often find that what is stated isn't what was meant. That is to say, following the text verbatim you come to a halt when you don't get the results described in the book. It might tell you a right click when it should have been a left click, or you're looking for an "ok" command and it should have been an "enter". Or only three out of four steps might be listed in the book and you spend unnecessary time trying to find the missing step - what the author said versus what he meant. Otherwise, the content of this book is all-inclusive discussing every aspect of the software in detail.

If you are going to use Inventor 2014 then you need something like this book to back up those many moments when you think "how do I do that" but either can't access Autodesk's on-line help or simply would prefer to read and re-read again the instructions.
I'm an experienced 2D AutoCAD user and what I've already found out from using this book is the different mind set you need to work with inventor. not just the "nuts & bolts" of using inventor (which command to use and how to do it etc ) but also how to think about how you intend to work through and develop a project. Just as importantly how to use the parts you've created in on project in another without it all getting very complicated and confusing.
I don't know f it's the best of it's type but it seems OK to me.
Yes the price is eye watering but then so is the price for inventor 2014.
