Hello Norseman,

The SW documentation would of course be the first place to look. Are you on the Solid Edge maintenance program? If so, you should be able to get help with error messages from their support services.

Also, we have many resources here on 3DCADTips.com that you can access for free and review to see if they cover what you are asking for. I doubt there is a book specifically for error messages.

Here are links to our SW resource directories:

SolidWorks Tips (1701 Current Total)
SolidWorks Tutorials (325 Current Total)
SolidWorks Books (108 Current Total)
SolidWorks Models (173 Current Total)
SolidWorks Downloads (40 Current Total)

Good Luck!
