Customer Reviews

Cannot have too many references.

As with any sophisticated application, AutoCAD of an older nature has many hidden depths. This book is not here to teach how to apply AutoCAD or even understand the disciplines that it applies to. This reference is what it claims to be. For the seasoned AutoCAD user, an older version can be quite interesting and may someday come in handy, especially for its robust options for using the tool quickly and effectively. You do not want to start with this older version, as it is a significant leap from previous versions to today. This reference will be good for a basic understanding of where AutoCAD came from. At the time of this review, we are at least at AutoCAD 202X. Who knows where we will go from here.

Definitely getting a lot of use already

It's a quick and easy guide to all the commands and functions you'll use in AutoCAD 2004. Alphabetical listings make it easy to find whatever I'm looking for, and cross-references also help if that command isn't exactly the right one for what I need to do. (which helps me a lot as a semi-beginner!) But I can see how even very advanced AutoCAD users would benefit from the format of this book, especially when it comes to commands that are new to 2004. Icons, great descriptions, pictures of dialog boxes, and shortcuts are also very helpful.Even though I've only had this book a few weeks, I've already used it more than enough to make it well worth buying!
