AutoCAD 2004 and AutoCAD LT 2004: No Experience Required

Rating:
Summary: No Experience Required - REALLY!
Review: AutoCAD is a huge, complex program that does more things than you can imagine. No one person would ever use all of it. Cad has a very steep learning curve.But this book simplifles it very well. It takes everything step by step. I have used two other Cad programs and was able to skip the very basics and go to the nuts and bolts. But if you have nothing more than a desire to learn AutoCAD this book is understandable and easy to follow. You will be drawing things within the hour. Highly recommended.

Summary: Perfect for the CAD beginner
Review: Having had no experience with CAD, I was looking for a book that would begin at the beginning. This book is it. You'll start by drawing 4 straight lines that will become the outside walls of a small cabin. Then in each chapter, you will slowly add interior walls, doors, cabinets, etc... You'll learn the CAD commands one at a time as you complete the cabin plans. Well written and easily understood, this book is just what I was looking for.
