Why to bank on this book of Customizing of AutoCAD,
By michal joseph (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Customizing AutoCAD 2004 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)
One of the reason why to bank on this book is that the approach makes learning customizing of AutoCAD easy. Others add-ons like, free technical support, chapter detailing how to create your own menus and toolbars, examples, tips and notes, and many more. I cannot see this much in any other customizing book. As a learner I recommend this book to those who want to learn customizing of AutoCAD.

Excellent book!!!,
By Schumbler (NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Customizing AutoCAD 2004 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)
As an AutoCAD instructor in a community college, I was searching for books on AutoCAD that explains the fundamentals of customizing AutoCAD. I read the book by Sham Tickoo and found it very helpful. Author has explained all the methods that can be used to customize AutoCAD. I am using this book in my class and until now found no difficulty in teaching through this book. This book is one of the rare books that explain how to create solid models using VBA. I strongly recommend this book to all the students.

Dont waste your money....,
This review is from: Customizing AutoCAD 2004 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)
Don't waste your money if you want to actually write a LISP program with a dialog box that is not listed in this book....it ONLY covers the few (already in ACAD) dialog boxes. There are TONS of information not listed in this book for DCL's and the LISP interface to go with them. I am very disappointed. I have been writing LISP programs for years and was hoping this book would help me take my programs to the next level (dialog boxes), I was wrong. If you want to play with your menu's and draw a box using LISP, this is the book for you.
