AutoCAD 2016 and AutoCAD LT 2016 No Experience Required: Autodesk Official Press

Very clearly written with plenty of well-explained guidance. I bought this specifically to figure out model space vs. paper space, how to use layers, and how to plot. This book showed me how. I am glad I bought this!

A few errors but it's good

I purchased this book to replace the AutoCAD 2010: No Experience Required version I had once I upgraded to AutoCAD 2016. I had purchased the original book many years ago with the intention of teaching myself AutoCAD. So now that I have gotten around to doing that I started using the previous version until this book arrived. I switched books about half way through (right after Chapter 7). While the tutorial has hardly changed between the 2 versions (same cabin drawing), the step by step instructions were clearly written by 2 different authors. The author of the 2010 version, Jon McFarland, clearly spent significant more time reviewing his instructions and making sure that even the small steps were covered. Donnie Gladfelter, the author of the 2016 version, seems to have blown through the steps without consideration for the fact that this book was written for those without prior AutoCAD experience. Perhaps this is an editing issue but for a book written for a such a meticulous and precise subject, the mistakes and holes in the writing of this book are glaring. I will be switching back to the 2010 version and figure out the changes between 2010 and 2016 after I figure AutoCAD out.

It's chock-full of editorial mistakes. Is anybody proof-reading this book as they update it each year? Otherwise, ok.

Good seller

Great

Good book

I am only about a third through the book, but the exercises are easy to understand and so far I fell very competent about my much improved knowledge of AutoCAD. when I reach the end of the book I may give it 5 stars.

Good
