Summary: AutoCAD 2000 Bible
Review: Having purchased AutoCAD for Dummies 2000, and AutoCAD for Architecture 14, this book makes you roll up your sleeves and start working productively from the second chapter. It's written for both the beginner and intermediate AutoCAD user. The CD has various small excercises to complete and provides the user with a wealth of time-saving steps. For anyone using AutoCAD 2000, whether you are a student or professional, this book is excellent. It has saved me literally hours of frustration. The book addresses both architectural and mechanical/electrical diciplines. The plotting chapter is exhaustive, and anyone using AutoCAD knows how important the proper procedures are for final output. Highly recommend this book.

Review: Very useful organization on 3 levels. There is a nariative to explain the general topic followed by some screen shots or description of the options. The third level is a step by step use. This worked well for me since I look for info on a topic rather than read a whole chapter. I also look for a good index to find what I need and this book had a complete index.
