    /24-7PressRelease/ - SAN JOSE, CA, May 28, 2006 - A new book published this week by Design Visionaries teaches the basic modeling, assemblies and drafting functionality of Unigraphics NX4. "Basic and Intermediate NX4 Modeling, Drafting and Assemblies", by Stephen Samuel, Anuranjini Pragada and Gautam Baksi, is a newly revised version of Design Visionaries' previous book "Practical Unigraphics NX3 Modeling, Drafting and Assemblies".

The methods outlined in this book go beyond an academic use of NX4. They are tricks of the trade that come from thousands of hours of actual use of the software to design some of the most difficult products in the world. The exercises provided in this book are classroom-tested and will surely help you learn NX4.

Topics include:
Fundamental and Intermediate Curves
