UG NX5 Introduction Book

[anyoldname]

Are there any decent books that explain the basics of NX5? I'm having to teach myself and I don't have any experienced users to answer questions.

I've previously used ProE a lot plus some Catia, so far the stuff I've learned in UG seems reasonably sensible but there is so much that I don't understand yet.

I have the UG Cast training files and have used these as much as possible but the big problem with all online training is that it doesn't leave you any sort of reference book, so its harder to check back on things you've already done or look for new functionality that you know it will be able to do but you don't know what its called.

The type of thing I'm struggling with are Reference Sets, referencing datum features in drawings etc plus this morning I also realised that I can't always make sense of the model tree.

The company thinks its saving money on the training but the reality is I haven't done anything productive for a few weeks now and its getting very frustrating.

I've looked online and the only book I could find that looked like it might be useful is "Parametric Modelling With UG NX5" by Randy Shih, but it sounds a bit advanced for me at this stage, I need to learn the basics first.
