Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Special Edition Using AutoCAD 2000 (Using (Special Edition)) (Hardcover)
I made a hollow book hiding place for a flask out of this book, and gave it to my Dad, and AutoCAD administrator, for Christmas. It was a big hit. Highly recommend it. One caution: I thought I was ordering a hardback, and they sent me a paperback, so just be careful.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have for long-time AutoCAD users!,

This review is from: Special Edition Using AutoCAD 2000 (Using (Special Edition)) (Hardcover)
A must-have for long-time AutoCAD users who want to quickly implement AutoCAD 2000- and 2000i-based products. The beauty of this book is its focus on effectively using AutoCAD to solve business problems. A great supplement to the out-of-box documentation from Autodesk.

nice,
By philipperochon (Fort-Coulonge Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Special Edition Using AutoCAD 2000 (Using (Special Edition)) (Hardcover)
I have bought the special edition using autocad2000 to help me with a course I am taking at college. I had my teacher take a gander and he said that it was a good book but thought that it could elaborate a little more. The idea of spending some time explaining about drafting was a very nice touch though. philiperochon@aol.com
