5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "stand alone" learning tool for AutoCAD., October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: AutoCAD 14 Instructor (Hardcover)

I have learned more AutoCAD from this book, than from numerous other AutoCAD books, and local courses, combined! James Leach's well organized, straight forward approach to all aspects of AutoCAD, makes it possible (in fact enjoyable) to become a proficient CAD practicioner, on a topic by topic, self paced basis. After completing the 22 step WIREFRAME MODELING tutorial in Chapter 37 (complete with detailed step by step instructions), one can immediately re-apply this proceedure to their own "select" 3-D illustrations! This text is an indispensable learning tool and reference source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Autocad 14 Instructor... Classroom Without Tuition, March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: AutoCAD 14 Instructor (Hardcover)

I am self studying Autocad at my work to be able to modify some existing Drawings. Two weeks ago I knew nothing about Autocad. As a student I always prefer a book that is intuitive enough to get the experience without having to ask a million questions about what the book is trying to achieve. This book has many full sized drawings, and step by step examples. I have downloaded the excercise drawings from their web site, and the examples are exceptional. This is a full course in autocad and if I were an instructor this is The BOOK I would use. But then again I dont need the instructor... I bought It.
