editions are unique in that they are so complete, covering virtually
every AutoCAD feature. Another special feature is that they function
both as a resource book and a tutorial. As a resource book, full
explanations cover all of the commands and their features, as well as
scenarios for how to use them. As a tutorial, most features come with a
step-by-step exercise; the companion website provides real-world
drawings for each exercise.”
