Mr. Zimmerman babbles on and on while attempting to cover a technical aspect of the Softdesk software. He repeats words and sentences, provides vague explanations, and includes incorrect data as part of the examples and practice work. I give him one star for trying.

The author is good at telling WHAT Softdesk will do, but he fails miserably to explain HOW to do it. I gave up at page 80. His writing is tedious and cryptic. I learned nothing.

HOLA MI NOMBRE ES JUAN NUÑEZ NECESITO SABER SI ESTE LIBRO COMPRENDE LA VERSION 8 DE CIVIL/SURVEY Y SI EXISTE UNA VERSION EN ESPAÑOL SI NO ES ASI NO IMPORTA. ME GUSTARIA SABER EL PRECIO TOTAL INCLUIDO ENVIO YA SEA EN ESPAÑOL O EN INGLES. favor enviar respuesta a mi correo electronico

Mr. Zimmerman has done an outstanding job of explaining the concepts behind Softdesk Civil/Survey S7 and S8. This is a far better at-home tutorial than the ones that simply tell you which button to push. If you read the text, this book will help you really understand the material.

In the "Could be better" category, the example problems are hard to follow for users who are not already VERY familiar with Softdesk. Many of the examples and instructions don't coincide with the appendices referenced. There are far too few screen shots of the drawing area so a user can compare his results to the book. It is often confusing which routine to pick off the pull-down menus unless you're already familiar with the program.

Because of the well-done explanations, this is still the best Softdesk Civil book I've used.

quisiera saber si el libro comprende tambien las opciones de la version softdesk 8

I have been using this book for two year as a reference. The know how explained in this book help me to think in the right way to get more harness of the software. I think that what I know about this subjet is a debt with Phillip Zimmerman. That's the reason for my recently purchase from you: his new book. It's simply necessary for every professional in this field.
