Reader ReviewsAutoCAD in its 2006 version is quite formidable. Centuries of programmer time have been spent to refine this product. Thus a comprehensive description of what you can do with it would be a huge and perhaps offputting book. Omura provides an easy alternative. He teaches the basic operations that you are likely to need. Enough to get you productively making simple three dimensional objects and manipulating their properties. But, if you are migrating to AutoCAD 2006 because you need a new feature within it, you should probably consult a more thorough text. Chances are that the latest features are refinements that most new users would not be dealing with, and thus not covered by Omura.
