4.0 out of 5 stars Limited tutorial, August 19, 1999

This review is from: Mastering Autocad 14 for Windows 95 Nt (Paperback)

I've had no training in Autocad. I do not use Autocad in my line of work. I got it because I wanted to learn something new just for the "Heck of it". I bought the software, and then I bought this book. I've created my own "cheat sheets" with command shortcuts, and I find myself referring back to the book constantly. With this book alone I have learned how to navigate R14 to the extent that I can do most anything on a non-professional level... I would have liked the book to have included more lessons, but that is what college classes are for. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. Lots of knowledge with no regrets.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile investment, April 23, 1999

This review is from: Mastering Autocad 14 for Windows 95 Nt (Paperback)

This book provided me with the mechanism to move from Anvil to the world of Autocad. I found the book to be well laid out, providing sufficent tutorial, explanations and examples when used in conjunction with the program itself. This is not the kind of book that one can simply read and expect to become a ACAD user.

I've recently moved up to Autocad 2000 and have the authors related title on order.

This book covers the spectrum from the layman, to the experienced professional looking to deepen his understanding of the tools available in Autocad14. It is usefull both as a reference and a tutorial. Skipping through or page by page, there is no gap in the usefullness of this text.
