4.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed Title,
This review is from: AutoCAD for Architectural Drawing Using AutoCAD 2000 (Paperback)
Don't make the same $53.00 mistake that I made! AutoCAD for Architectural Drawing Using AutoCAD 2000 and AutoCAD for Interior Design and Space Planning Using AutoCAD 2000, both by the same authors, are essentially the same book. You should buy one or the other, but not both. After I had bought the book for interior design and space planning I went ahead and also bought the one for architectural drawing thinking that it was a totally different and more advanced book, but it isn't. The only difference is the cover and the title name; the text and the exercises are all the same. Therefore, if you buy both books you will be wasting your money on one of them.Whether you buy one or the other, you should be aware that these books do not teach you AutoCAD 2000 but merely guide you through the process of using AutoCAD 2000 to create a few architectural drawings. In other words, to be able to use these books you must be already somewhat familiar with AutoCAD 2000, otherwise you will be frustrated and disappointed . I like the fact that unlike other books on AutoCAD that I have read that rely mostly on borrowed drawings (included in their accompanying CD), that instruct you to change or add a little line here and there, these two books force you to create the entire drawing from scratch, thereby improving tremendously your drawing abilities with AutoCAD 2000. And don't let the word "architectural" scare you; in fact, you don't have to be an architect to use any of these two books. M.E.Reyna Miami, Florida

Good for Beginners,
By Steve Chan (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AutoCAD for Architectural Drawing Using AutoCAD 2000 (Paperback)
This is a very good books for those who had no experienced with AutoCAD and wanted to learn how to use it for Architectural Purpose. It covers almost most of the things needed for 2D (orthographic) drawing. Recommended if you are doing Architectural only.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing special about this book. In comparison to Sake's book, it is definitely much inferior.,
