Very helpful

I recently took an online class for AutoCAD and this book was extremly helpful in showing me step by step how to use the program. I would recommend to anyone who is buying the software that they should purchase this book. It is a good reference and can help you if you are stumbling on a problem.

Autocad 2006 And AutoCad LT 2006: No Experience Required is a fine, basic introduction to a powerful program which once commanded the attention only of professionals. Any seeking to utilize the CAD software should have this manual in hand: it provides a set of tutorials which are sequentially arranged for step-by-step study - but it also can be used as an at-a-glance reference sourcebook for solving specific problems. From understanding coordinate systems and drawing routines to working with fills, text, external references and more, AutoCAD's powerful tools and drawing features are all detailed in depth.

Great for new users

I am a first time autocad user and I only used this book to learn it. It worked well for me. It will teach you all the basics you need to know. It does not teach you how to master it so, if you have prior experience with autocad it will be of no use to you.
