Customer Reviews

Great Book

I just started to go through this book and it is amazing how easy it is to use. I'm just getting into CAD 2007 in college and this book is helping me to get extra practice of the ins and outs of CAD 2007. I showed this book to my teacher and she is going to buy a copy she said it is a great learing tool and refference book.

Bible is Good Title

Well written, thorough, well organized. Easy to learn from and easy to access for reference. Everything it said it would be.

good reference

a good reference for experienced users. Of course Autocad is so diverse there is not such a thing as a complete reference. but this is one of two that I keep at hand all the time.

More one great Book

This is more one great work of the Ellen. This is not the first book that I buy written for her. She knows to write of direct and practical form, becoming the pleasant reading. The use of the AutoCAD with this great book will be facilitated.

One of those books you keep by the computer.

When the publisher calles this book 'Bible' he means it. 1200+ pages on how to use the software. The back of the book says that this book is intended for 'Beginner to Intermediate' users. To be sure there is an introductory chapter at the beginning of the book might be enough for a beginner to get started with AutoCAD. But I'd recommend starting somewhere else, like say a 'For Dummies' book. This is more of a reference book for the user looking to do something that he hasn't done before. As such it is well designed: First there are a series of chapters organized in a logical manner with headings that actually make sense. Then under the chapter headings there are sub headings that further identify common tasks. Second the index at the back of the book is 40 pages long, filled with small type where hopefully you can find nearly every subject. By having so many entries there are multiple entries for what you might be looking for. All in all, this is one of those books you keep nearby when you are using the software.
