5.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR AMATEURS.GREAT BOOK., July 19, 2007

This review is from: The Illustrated AutoCAD 2007 Quick Reference (Illustrated AutoCAD Quick Reference) (Paperback)

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS BOOK SHOULD BE QUALIFIED FOR AMATEURS OR INTERMEDIATE USERS. THE TITLE IS COMPLETELY RIGHT. IT`S A QUICK (AND VERY COMPLETE)REFERENCE WITH COMMANDS' GUIDELINES, SO THE EXPLANATIONS ARE VERY SHORT AND CONCISE. BEGINNERS WILL HAVE SOME TROUBLE WITH THE USE OF THIS BOOK IF THEY DON'T KNOW THE EXACTLY APPLICATION. THIS BOOK ALSO CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT SYSTEM VARIABLES NOT LISTED IN OFFICIAL'S MANUALS. IN THE RIGHT HANDS AND MINDS, THIS ITEM CAN BE A POWERFUL TOOL FOR IMPROVING CAD TECHNIQUES AND DEVELOPING ADVANCED IDEAS. REGARDS.

this amazing, alphabetized encyclopedia of CAD commands makes following the steps of CAD drafting so easy! look commands up by name, or use the index and search for a command by relating it to a desired application.

Easy to use, a relief to have.
