Reader Reviews
This book was sent to several engineers at the magazine. The author provides a good starting point for someone with a high school education. You will have to get a more advanced text to teach yourself the finer points but this would be the place to start. The fonts used are easy to read. I did not try the disk so I won't comment. Having the disk is an excellent idea. Two discs with a 30-day trial for AutoCAD and a simple step-by-step manual provides ample tools for self-study. The only reason why I did not give a 5 was because the text won't provide the more advanced techniques you will need to actually use AutoCAD on the job. If this review helped, please vote.
