1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth your time, October 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Customizing AutoCAD 2000 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)

I found this book to be little more than a rehash of the Autocad on-line documentation. It has many errors and the info is incomplete and inconsistent. Anyone who depends on this book as his/her guide for customizing Autocad is in big trouble. This is the most expensive and least valuable of the many Autocad books I have seen. If I had not begun marking in it as I went through it, I would have asked for my money back.

1.0 out of 5 stars General topics treated poorly, June 1, 2001

This review is from: Customizing AutoCAD 2000 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)

Upon trying the first routine on scripts, and as a beginning AutoCAD customizer, I can tell you the author's attempts at conveying his subject matter were much less than first rate. Most of the 'free' customizing resources I have used so far were more clear and much more beneficial than this book. Please look elsewhere for in-depth information. A few topics are treated with some depth but, taken as a whole, it really is not worth your hard-earned money!

a good tool in helping me customizing my autocad 2000. Workable example has helped me create menus and blocks. Good explanation of how VBA work in autocad2000. Worth spending my time of learning how to do thing more efficienly.
