It's like having your own personal teacher right there,
This review is from: Accessing AutoCAD Architectural Desktop Release 2 (Paperback)
Having to keep up with CAD technology like I do, I do not have the time to take classes on the new AutCAD programs that come out. This book is constantly being pulled out and used to get me through Architectural Desktop R2. After I got through the beginning chapters that got me familiar with the program, I have been able to go to the chapters that deal with the specific commands that I need to use. The exercises that come with the book have been extremely helpful and make it so that I do not need to experiment on the drawings that I am working on. I have been able to, with the help of this book, make Architectural Desktop become a profitable purchase for the drafting company that I own. I would recommend this book to anyone that has Architectural Desktop R2 and for anyone thinking about purchasing the program. If you are in the latter category, you will be able to see the potential for the program. If you already have the program, get this book.
