Finally, someone gets it right!,
By Tyrone McCloud - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: AutoCAD 2010 and AutoCAD LT 2010: No Experience Required (Paperback)
I received a copy of "AutoCAD 2010 and AutoCAD LT 2010 NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED" on a Saturday and sat down with it and a free trial version of AutoCAD 2011 (a full working version and can be downloaded from Autodesk and used for 30 days) on Sunday. After my first day, I am now in Chapter 6 - Using Layers to Organize Your Drawing. This is an excellent book! The instructions are very clear and the pace of the book is just right. The author does not assume that you know anything about AutoCAD (the title is accurately named "NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED"). As I moved through each exercise I gained confidence and was able to draw faster as I mastered a new command. The book teaches you most of the features of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT by using a continuing project, a small cabin. You will learn to build a set of drawings that document your progress throughout the project. Chapter 1 begins with `Getting to Know AutoCAD' while the last chapter, Chapter 17, finishes with `Rendering and Materials'. I am very pleased with my purchase by this author. I plan to purchase Mastering AutoCAD 2010 and AutoCAD LT 2010 by George Omura after I finish Jon McFarland's book.

Its a good intro book,
By Anon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: AutoCAD 2010 and AutoCAD LT 2010: No Experience Required (Paperback)
I had zero cad experience prior to buying this book. After about 9 full days of use I finished the Autocad LT portion of the book and feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the Autocad Basics.I would have given this book 5 stars, however; about half way through it appears the Author should have taken a break and gotten some sleep, or at least read and ran through the finished product before releasing the book. Some measurements are wrong, file name associations are off, and steps that can't be done in Autocad LT are not noted as being Autocad Only amongst a few other minor problems. This makes it very confusing, especially around chapter 13 or 14 when utilizing the layouts and sheets. These problems shouldn't be enough to keep you from buying the book though, and the mistakes actually present a challenge to test your skills. I don't think this would be a good book for anyone with experience, but it is a great book for people like me with no previous experience. |
