This book covers enough of everything that AutoCAD 2002 became a completly different program for me, It has helped my carrer in so many ways, I literally went from 2 dimensions to 3 dimensional drawing, renderings, and even presentations. I no longer use what CAD has to offer but have learned how to manipulate the program and get it to do very custom items (wrought iron railings, wall styles, window styles, etc.)

This book is more geared towards mechanical drafting rather than architectural drafting. But nonetheless it's a good book for referential purposes.

This books is better than the autodesk manual for showing you how to draw with AutoCAD and some of the drawing features. If you are looking for a book that explores how to customize AutoCAD using LISP, VBA or ObjectARX look elsewhere.


Good for intermediate/advanced AutoCAD users

This is a great book and has come in handy now that I know AutoCAD but it was a little too difficult for me to start with. My teacher showed me a much easier book "Exercise Workbook for Beginning AutoCAD 2002" by Shrock Publishing. You can review it on their website. It made learning AutoCAD very simple. Also, why are these books so expensive. ...


Excellent, detailed coverage

This is an excellent book. It's a well-written exposition of many (perhaps all) features of AutoCAD 2002.

If you already use AutoCAD and are looking for a reference in which to look up advanced features as the need arises, this book would be an excellent choice.

If you're new to AutoCAD and are learning from scratch, this book might be an excellent choice. It contains about 300 clearly described sequential excercies which walk you through many (perhaps all) features of AutoCAD 2002. After you finish, you'll be a proficient user. But expect to invest a substantial amount of time (perhaps 3 weeks full-time).

If you're learning from scratch and just want to invest a couple of days to learn the basic features and then jump in, you might want to look for a shorter book. The first 5 chapters purports to do this, but it doesn't do it well in my judgment.
