Summary: now using it to teach basic Autocad
Review: I used this to teach beginners to use Autocad, and was very pleased with it because it is what it says..basic. Some of those other books are so thick they are too intimidating to the students (besides costing too much) This book has good "try this" examples and practice ideas. I especially liked the "freezeframes" of the screen so students know what to look for and what buttons are supposed to be clicked, what their choices are and most importantly if they are in the right place. it was a very self-centered learning for the students as they went thru each chapter they could see for themselves if they were on track. I had less "i'm lost comments" than with other AutoCad books.
