This is the right book for users if they liked the author's "Beginning
AutoCAD" workbook, or they're looking for a clear, no nonsense,
easy-to-follow text, or they want to learn more about AutoCAD such as
Xref, Attributes, and 3D solids. Totally updated for AutoCAD 2015 and
2015 LT, it offers several new and improved features. All exercises
print easily on a standard 8 1/2" x 11" printer. For use with the PC
version of AutoCAD 2015 only.
