Reviews

AARON GOODMAN (Sowela Technical Community College)

This is an excellent textbook I have been using in CADD 1201 Advanced CAD classes for the previous 6 releases of AutoCAD. I am anxious to upgrade to this new edition as we upgrade workstations to AutoCAD 2025 in January, 2025. The book is good but the appendixes make it great!
