Summary: Great Job of Explaining Profanely Complex System!
Review: Frey does one of the best jobs of teaching a TERRIBLY complex subject I have encountered. When I bought Autocad, I never imagined in today's world of computing/programming expertise, such an un-intuitive system could continue to survive.
If you don't plan to use Autocad every day of your life, don't buy it. And, if you already have it, buy this book immediately!!

Summary: Excellent for someone with no CAD/Drafting experience
Review: I went through the first 6 chapters in a period of 2 1/2 days and I learned a great deal very quickly. He at times can be repetitive but his explanations will make you understand the concept the first time around. I'm usually not the type of person to comment on a book but I feel like I owe the author at least this. This book is definetly well worth the 25 bucks--more than that, really.If you don't know squat about CAD, this book is, without a doubt, for you.

Summary: 2 more books you will like
Review: If you liked this book you will also like "Exercise Workbook for Beginning AutoCAD 2000" and it's companion "Exercise Workbook for Advanced AutoCAD 2000". Visit the website "shrockpublishing.com" and check it out. I found these to be more step by step and not so much to read. The Advanced workbook is really good for guiding you through setting up your borders for professional use. It is also great for classroom instruction. Students basically teach themselves with these books. They are also great as reference manuals to refer back too commands quickly.

Summary: Excellent for architects new to AutoCAD
Review: Most AutoCAD instructional books are very comprehensive. They attempt to cover all the facets of the program and to provide examples relevant to all the various professions that use the program. As a result, they are suitable for a six month course or as a reference tome, but excruciating for anyone trying to pick up AutoCad at home. This author focuses in on basic skills that are required in architectural drafting and cuts away the clutter that you can pick up later as you become more experienced. The training exercises are logically sequenced and techniques become effortlessly ingrained through repetition. This is simply the best work I've seen for getting an architect with limited CAD experience up and running.
