4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good..., February 24, 2007

This was the recommended text for an Autocad class I'm taking. It seems to have all the essential information. Good for both reference and instruction. The only detraction I've found is the index is poor, doesn't always direct you to the places in the book with the most information about what you're looking for, and the index is where I go first when I'm trying to find a particular thing.

This book contains a detailed explanation of AutoCAD 2007 commands and how to use them in solving drafting and design problems. Every AutoCAD command is thoroughly explained with examples and illustrations that make it easy to understand their function and application. At the end of each topic, there are examples that illustrate the function of the command and how it can be used in the drawing. When you are done reading this book, you will be able to use AutoCAD commands to make a drawing, create text, make and insert symbols, dimension a drawing, create 3D objects and solid models, write script files, and define line types and hatch patterns.
Some of the features of this text book are:
· Step-by-step instructions for creating text, making and inserting symbols, and dimensioning drawings promote efficient use of the software while strengthening your problem-solving skills.
· Customizing and advanced techniques (such as creating templates, script files, and slide shows) use to enhance productivity are thoroughly explained with examples and illustrations.
· Dual emphasis on conceptual learning and hands-on practice fosters a thorough understanding of the power of AutoCAD 2007 for engineers, architects, and drafters.

I order this book every term in our small college to teach AutoCad and it is an excellent book. I use this book mostly for teaching AutoCad 2D and it is may be the best book for this purpose in the market. If you are a student wanting to learn AutoCad you should know that the exercises in this book are the best you can find anywhere.
