Don't bother 17 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an awful book, it is overly complex and in my opinion virtually useless for reference. it takes you through drawing a shack and constantly refers to it. It is all done in feet and inches??? must be aimed at the American market, it is extremely aggravating. It takes ages to work through this and you cannot pick out things you want to do without reading through each of the full sections. I wanted something where I could just pick out the bits I need when I need them, a colleague at work got me up and running in about 20 minutes with enough basics to build on, this book took 20 minutes to find one command - and I still could not use it!

Thourough coverage for a beginner 25 Aug 2007
By Joe Smith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found the book very complete, covering all the common commands and tools necessary for drawing complex diagrams. Also included are explanations on drawing set-up, drawing blocks, text, title blocks, tables, printing layouts, viewports, etc. Pretty much every facet of the program is at least introduced (except LISP), including 3-D.
While I will be using the program primarily in drawing electrical diagrams, the concepts and methods used for architectural drawings are exactly the same.
If you are a beginner and want to get up to speed fast, this is the book you're looking for.

Misleading Title 30 July 2007
By Sergio Reyes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book's title was no experience required for autocad 2008 and LT. Well all they covered was homebuilding. I do mostly mechanical work. It did not even touch the subject of parts or anything of that sort. Great work if you want to build a house, just not what I needed.

Great for Construction Industry 17 Dec 2007
By Dale T. Hylton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book teaches cad well for the construction industry. If you need to learn the basics, it is good. Only a few changes of importance for those of us who are used to AutoCAD 2000. If you are a user of AutoCAD 2000, then 2008 only ads a few benefits.
