From the Publisher

First and best—again. New Riders began life as an AutoCAD publisher back in the mid 1980s with this book, Inside AutoCAD, one of the first mass market, third-party computer books ever published, and still the best selling AutoCAD book of all time. The book has been rewritten from the ground up several times since, always implementing tutorial explorations of how and why AutoCAD works like it does, geared toward serious students of CAD as well as professional-level users who need a stand-by reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for any AutoCAD 2002 user, June 15, 2002
This review is from: Inside AutoCAD 2002 (Inside (New Riders)) (Paperback)
I spent a long time looking for a good AutoCAD reference book. The problem I had with other AutoCAD references was that they based their teaching methodology on an creating an independent drawing. I'm sure this would be great in the classroom, but it was hard to translate the information to the projects I do at work. Basically, I needed a User's Manual on Steroids. And this is it! I've been using the book for 6 months now, and it's never failed to answer any of the oddball questions that come with using AutoCAD. Pretty amazing, considering how quirky the program can be. And it does it in straightforward language, unhindered by heavy doses of jargon. I would recommend this book to any 2002 user, especially to anyone who uses 2002 in their professional practice.
