5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely getting a lot of use already, September 17, 2003

This review is from: The Illustrated AutoCAD 2004 Quick Reference (Illustrated AutoCAD Quick Reference) (Paperback)

It's a quick and easy guide to all the commands and functions you'll use in AutoCAD 2004. Alphabetical listings make it easy to find whatever I'm looking for, and cross-references also help if that command isn't exactly the right one for what I need to do. (which helps me a lot as a semi-beginner!) But I can see how even very advanced AutoCAD users would benefit from the format of this book, especially when it comes to commands that are new to 2004. Icons, great descriptions, pictures of dialog boxes, and shortcuts are also very helpful.

Even though I've only had this book a few weeks, I've already used it more than enough to make it well worth buying!
