3.0 out of 5 stars Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010, September 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 (Paperback)
As expected, the step by step directions have flaws in them. Students that have a lot of experience with Windows can usually overcome the omissions/wrong turns, but students that are not real solid with Windows tend to spend a lot of time trying to figure out another way to complete the totorials. That is what the instructor is for, so ask questions and don't think that you have a problem reading or following instructions, most likely it's not you.
