    OK, I have taken two semesters of AutoCAD (2009) although it has been a couple years (and like the reviewer above — these classes only help you get through very simple pre-constructed exercises at the end of each chapter and NOTHING real world). I bought AC 2010 Student Edition and bought this book to get me up to speed to help finish a final construction documents studio course before graduation. I just spent three days reading half this book, doing all the step-by-step instructions on how to set up the paper spaces and model space to fit my paper, work with my school printers and plotters. NOT ONE THING is working…NOT ONE. I went sequentially, rechecked all the set-ups this book advocated and instructed and to no avail. I would rather have spent the last three days with a private tutor — it would have done me more good. A terrible reference for a terrible product.

    I took a 3-day “Fundamentals” class. The class was well taught, but the textbook only contained step-by-step exercises without much of an index or reference sections. “AutoCAD 2010 For Dummies” really zeroes in on the things that tend to be confusing, gives you the background and warnings you need, and walks you through things where it’s appropriate.

    I was getting ready to pay for some extra face time with my original teacher to conquer “Model Space” and “Paper Space”, but this book saved me from having to do that. I like the conversational and humorous tone of all the “Dummies” series books, and this one is no exception.

    It has been a big help.

    This book is good for someone who does not have knowledge on CAD at all.

    This is the best book I have seen for the beginner. Everything is very detailed in the sequence of commands and well indexed for those emergency moments. I have recommended it to everyone in my class. It is just a great reference!

    Excellent reference for those who have little knowledge of Auto Cad and want to learn it quickly. Step by step instructions as well as short cuts once you have mastered basics. Unlike many of the Auto Cad teachers I have encountered, the book does not pretend that learning Auto Cad is the functional equivalent of earning a Master’s Degree in Computer Science. This book demystifies Auto Cad, and focuses on making you productive. You can ponder the cross pollenating connectedness of computer software operations on your own.
