Thourough coverage for a beginner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I found the book very complete, covering all the common commands and tools necessary for drawing complex diagrams. Also included are explanations on drawing set-up, drawing blocks, text, title blocks, tables, printing layouts, viewports, etc. Pretty much every facet of the program is at least introduced (except LISP), including 3-D. While I will be using the program primarily in drawing electrical diagrams, the concepts and methods used for architectural drawings are exactly the same. If you are a beginner and want to get up to speed fast, this is the book you're looking for.
