4.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for learning DataCAD, December 15, 1998

By A Customer

This 1995 book covers DataCAD,(the number two architectural CAD software behind Auto***),up through version 6. At this writing DataCAD is up to ver.8.06 and is now a Windows 95 product instead of the DOS version the 1995 book covers. Although this book is being updated for the latest version of DataCAD, the 1995 book is still quite valuable, since the vast majority of the commands remain the same. This book will show you a lot of the shortcuts the DataCAD tutorial does not. The examples and lessons in the book are straightforward and very applicable to the actual work done in an architecural office.This book will have you up and running in no time. Of course, being productive quickly may also have to do with the fact that DataCAD is one of the easiest-to-learn architectural CAD programs in the marketplace; but that's another story. A definite "buy-it" book.
