Reviews / Votes
From Amazon (on previous editions of Modelling with AutoCAD): "Full of examples, easy to learn 3D modeling in AutoCAD." Reviewer from Irvine, USA "The whole book contains many practical exercises that demonstrate how to create 3D models. It is much easy to learn AutoCAD by doing these exercise instead of reading other AutoCAD's instruction books.".More details
