"I just started learning AutoCAD and was experiencing great frustration until I discovered your "AutoCAD Pocket Reference." I couldn't find your "Beginning AutoCAD" in any of the book stores in my area of Orange County (Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, etc.). Then I read the front matter of the reference (which I bought locally) and realized that the Orange Coast College book store would surely have it. I bought it and am delighted with both books. I am a retired college professor and taught for forty years, so I am well aware that a good text and a good teacher are rare indeed. Thanks you for your approach to the subject and the energy and dedication it required to put in writing." - Bill Stapp.This book includes a 30-day AutoCAD 2008 Trial Software on the enclosed CDs. It is totally updated for AutoCAD 2008 and 2008 LT including the New and Enhanced InfoCenter, Dashboard, Multiline Text, Spellcheck, Multileaders, Dimension Line Break, Jogged Linear and more. Ideal for classroom instruction or as a self-study tutorial, it provides only what you need without all of the jargon.
It includes 30 lessons with step by step instructions followed by exercises designed for practicing the commands learned within the lesson. Each lesson starts very simple and progresses to more complex. It familiarizes users with the drawing commands first, and then teaches users to create their own setup drawings. It also explains each lesson clearly and in a non-intimidating manner.
