This review is from: Mastering Autocad 3D (Paperback)

I bought this book, because I tought it is good for learning AutoCad 3D. I have to say this is the second book I read from this Author. Authough not as boaring as the first one, this book may help you only if you have been working many years as an architect. But the biggest problem is that you have to type step by step commands and numbers all the time. Why you have to do the next step is never explain, so if you stop to follow the book and decide to do something on your onw, you can't do it.

Another problem is that you can't save your work because the book comes with copywrite cd so if you want to stop and continue later you have 2 options: either never to turn off the program or to finish few chapters at once.

So as a sumary I must say another Big, Bad and Boaring Book.
