Book Reviews of AutoCAD 2010 For Dummies

Book Review: .
Summary: 5 Stars

Great book and easy to follow compared to other reference books for AutoCad. Very detailed w/o confusing a novice. It has detailed step by step directions, but doesn't confuse you with an overload of information. I completed my AutoCad certification and have very basic knowledge about the program. Certification took me 3 months and the teacher went very quickly through topics in the class. Having this book and practicing at home is absolutely necessary to master AutoCad. This book is perfect for someone who has little exposure to AutoCad / Engineering tools and wants to take it to the next level. AutoCad is a fun program in general! I am not very tech savy when it comes to complicated computer programs so this book was perfect for me.
