5.0 out of 5 stars
Your gonna think Im the author,
By John K. Morgan (Perkinston, Ms United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Official DataCAD User's Guide (Starburst 9.0) (Paperback)
.How else could anyone get so carried away with this work. DataCAD is the greatest cad tool you will find for Architectural work and I outa know, I have TurboCad, Intellicad, Vector Works, and AutoCad, but 99% of my work is with DataCAD. This book is NOT the manual that comes with the software, but I'm betting that it soon will be the OFFICIAL Official DataCAD manual. Buy this book now, I have purchased two copies that have dissappeared ( well I loaned them out and can't seem to get them back ) so, looks like I'm gonna make a repeat-repeat purchase.
