5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Beginners, May 5, 2004

This review is from: AutoCAD 2000 Tutor for Engineering Graphics (Paperback)

AutoCAD 2000 Tutor is an excellent book for those who wants to start a drafting career without spending a lot of money on training. This book takes you from starting the AutoCAD program to designing 3D images step by step. My favorite thing about this book is the exercises at the end of each chapter. Exercises let you apply your accumulated knowledge to each exercise. For instance, if you are working on a Chapter 3 exercise, you apply the concept you learned from Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 the exercise. I checked out other books for AutoCAD, too. I think this is the best of all.
