Reader Reviews
As new as I'm new in the word of AutoCad, I can say that this book is not as complex as the software is. It tries to help the student to understand the structure of objects (2D or 3D) but it is not enough. I've seen my classmates struggle because there is not order of importance in the requirements of a drawing; there are not recommendations for the most efficient tools in the making of a drawing. It has worked for me but I don't think it is the ideal text for the new student, bare in mind AutoCad is a huge program and there are tools not even mentioned in this book. P.D.: Be careful, as always there are typos in the exercises, you may notice them. Comment | | (Report this)
