Excellent reference for those who have little knowledge of Auto Cad and want to learn it quickly. Step by step instructions as well as short cuts once you have mastered basics. Unlike many of the Auto Cad teachers I have encountered, the book does not pretend that learning Auto Cad is the functional equivalent of earning a Master's Degree in Computer Science. This book demystifies Auto Cad, and focuses on making you productive. You can ponder the cross pollenating connectedness of computer software operations on your own.

This is the best book I have seen for the beginner. Everything is very detailed in the sequence of commands and well indexed for those emergency moments. I have recommended it to everyone in my class. It is just a great reference!

This book is good for someone who does not have knowledge on CAD at all.

Great book and easy to follow compared to other reference books for AutoCad. Very detailed w/o confusing a novice. It has detailed step by step directions, but doesn't confuse you with an overload of information. I completed my AutoCad certification and have very basic knowledge about the program. Certification took me 3 months and the teacher went very quickly through topics in the class. Having this book and practicing at home is absolutely necessary to master AutoCad. This book is perfect for someone who has little exposure to AutoCad / Engineering tools and wants to take it to the next level. AutoCad is a fun program in general! I am not very tech savy when it comes to complicated computer programs so this book was perfect for me.

I took a 3-day "Fundamentals" class. The class was well taught, but the textbook only contained step-by-step exercises without much of an index or reference sections. "AutoCAD 2010 For Dummies" really zeroes in on the things that tend to be confusing, gives you the background and warnings you need, and walks you through things where it's appropriate.

I was getting ready to pay for some extra face time with my original teacher to conquer "Model Space" and "Paper Space", but this book saved me from having to do that. I like the conversational and humorous tone of all the "Dummies" series books, and this one is no exception.

It has been a big help.

The book on Autocad is very well written for people of various skill levels. I would recommend it to my friends.

Very good book. I have not finished reading it yet. It would have been better with more excercises.

Great book to learn how to use Autocad. Took a class and am glad I had it with me.

I purchased this book because I recently updated my AutoCad license. As I reviewed this reference book, I quickly realized that it read fluidly. For an instructional tome, this is unacceptable. I hoped for diagrams and callouts, however, what I received was jokes and "amusing stories" completely unrelated to what the book was supposed to teach.

God loves all amazon sellers thanks everything arrived on time and has been a great help ---thanks--good packaging and good arrival time---I would recommend this book for all new and old AutoCad users
