AutoCAD 2007 For Dummies Revised Edition

I've read several Dummies books and in general liked them. They educate and entertain at the same time.This book was different. The author took most of the first two chapters telling the readers how good AUTOcad is and complaining that there was not enough room to detail all the options available in the software.In the book I got from the library I was using my AUTOcad 2007 by the time I finished the second page. While it was not as entertaining as a typical Dummies book AUTOcad 2007 for Dummies was not all that witty either.If you want to read the minimim in order to learn something about AUTOcad 2007 then the Dummies book might be for you. The other popular books on the subject are a lot thicker but much better detailed.

This is the printed book form. Which is needed for making notes and clarification. I have several Dummies on other products, a great way to learn.Flipping back & forth is easier on a book.

with this book, perhaps I will no longer be a dummy about 2007 auto cad. tells me anything I need to know

As a person with no previous experience with AutoCAD, I needed a book that would help me to understand how to use this program quickly and effectively. So far, after reading several chapters and working with it for a couple of weeks, I have come to enjoy this book due to its simple step-by-step format and its humorous way of explaining this huge program. I have to admit. Before ever working with AutoCAD, I was a big doubter of it. I did not have a good impression of it. All I knew was that AutoCAD was a huge program that mostly dealt with 2-D drawings and that it would be too much and too confusing to learn......NOT SO!!! Thanks to this book, my impression of AutoCAD has gone from one of doubt to one of enjoyment, fun, great versatility and good user-friendly control. My hat's off to "AutoCAD 2007 for Dummies"!!!

No issues, no problem.

While written with a nice amount of wit, this is a typical computer manual. As with other manuals, all it does is tell you what's in the menus and what the buttons do. Obviously that's important to know, but what everyone really wants from any computer program is for it to be useful to them in some way - they want to actually be able to do something with it. What all these manuals need are step-by-step exercises that serve as models for actual tasks that people routinely can use a particular program for. This book will be informative, but it won't give you any effectiveness in Autocad or make the program useful to you.

This book got me through some hard times back in the day
