CAD and CAM Books

Out of all the AutoCAD Courseware manuals that I have evaluated, this manual is by far one of the best. The book has an easy to read and understand format. It is definately one of the most user-friendly manuals I have ever used to assist me in teaching and learning AutoCAD.

This book has made teaching AutoCAD a snap. This book is so thorough and so direct, it is the best I have ever used. After using this book I think I am definately going to stick with Technical Learningware Company books.

Once again the authors of this book have proven themselves worthy of emulation. They have created another one of the greatest CAD manuals I have ever used.

This is an excellent tutorial book for some advanced AutoCad functionalities.

Once again Lynn Allen has written a book that will be useful to the most advanced AutoCAD users, as well as those just beginning in this field.
Tips and tricks written in simple english that will help the reader to better understand what is being introduced.
Anyone who has read Lynn's first book, "AutoCAD Inside And Out" will no doubt find this second book even more insighful.

I have tried other books to learn AutoCAD and each feel short of giving me a practical approach for this program. Not having the time to attend classes because of my busy travel schedule, I obtained this series of books so I could try one more time to teach myself. The author is a professor at Marion Technical College but he must have worked in industry sometime in his life. This has got to be the easiest format to learn how to draw lines and become productive (I have over 30 years experience in engineering and production and know the importance of become productive quickly). This 3 book series is a must for any instructor that is trying to get his students a job after graduation or a supervisor that is upgrading from an earlier version.

I recommend this trio of books highly

I had to buy this book for a college architecture class that I am taking and I saved about 40 bucks buying it from Amazon instead of my college bookstore. This book is great for any architecture student or anyone who is interested in drawing houses using AutoCad. It is also great for any beginner because it shows you how to begin a drawing and how to complete it. It is very easy to read and it is full of everything you need to know to draw like an architect.

Yes it's a Dummy book and as such doesn't assume much on the reader's part so if you're already pretty advanced and up to date with AutoCAD 3D Modeling then save your money. On the other hand, if you only want or need to get up to speed on R2008's interface and 3D features, the 3D Modeling Workbook is probably just what you are looking for. It's not going to teach you how to create sophisticated, photo-real models but by the time you are finished you will know and be able to use virtually all of the commands and tools AutoCAD provides for 3D modeling. Add your talent and skill and you're good to go.

One warning: While the exercises are generally short and sweet, they are numerous so be prepared to spend a couple of hours on each chapter (23 total) as they are true substance of the book.

This book is great for anyone wanting to learn AutoCAD. It is easy to follow and very informative.

the book was new with no damage at all, just like the seller informed me, and the shipping of this product was super fast! great purchase!
