This review is from: AutoCAD® 14 Bible (Paperback)

I recieved AutoCad 14, the program, 4 days ago and this book 2 days ago, and I am already feeling like I can do something with the program. I felt lost and bewildered when I opened the program on my own, but the step-by-step tutorials along with the examples on the CD-ROM are teaching me everything I believe I will ever need to know. I'm glad I decided not to put hundreds of dollars into a CAD course when this book is as wonderful as it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most complete, concise & to the point AutoCAD book I have!, May 15, 1998

This review is from: AutoCAD® 14 Bible (Paperback)

Our engineering company upgraded to AutoCAD Release 14 in April 1998 & I found the AutoCAD 14 Bible clear, concise & to the point when we redeveloped & recustomized our CAD System. We didn't have to spend as much time calling CAD consultants when we could find the information we needed at the flip of a page. Bravo!
