Summary: A disappointment
Comment: After reading the reviews on this product I decided to purchase it. I have found that this item does not live up to the praise given it. The product is really just a glorified help file that is produced by AutoDesk and supported by them. If I remember correctly, AutoDesk Learning Assistance used to be included with AutoCad program discs. I will say that many of the items on the disc are helpful, but it still does not live up to the hype given it. There are many 'typos' plus not all of the tutorials print correctly. These items may seem trivial but I think for the price of the product, the quality could have been better. I would think twice before buying this. I sometimes wonder that maybe I didn't actually receive the same product that the other reviewers did. My disc says it was copyrighted by AutoDesk and no where do I see the name Nancy A. Fulton or Barry Wagar.

Summary: Really a Great Product
Comment: I bought this author's Autodesk VIZ CD and liked it so much I decided to try the AutoCAD 2000 CD because that's what I use. I really liked it too. The things I like best are:
1) Its cheaper than other CD's and covers more commands.
2) It also covers more than even the big books like
Inside AutoCAD. Its _all_ tutorials so its easy to
understand.
3) Its easy to install. Just follow the directions.
4) Its easy to use. I like using ALT + TAB to switch back
and forth between it and AutoCAD. The READ THIS FIRST
page is the only thing I had to read in order to
understand exactly how to use it.
5) Its easy to print the tutorials. I set my properties
when I print to put two pages on each piece of paper
to save printer ink. I read the tutorials like magazine
articles - they very easy to follow because there are lots
of pictures. You should do this too. The tutorials are long
sometimes.
6) No animations, which is good because they suck up space
and you can't print them, and they are boring to watch -
if I wanted animations I would buy a video which there
are two million of.
7) The index is very good - commands are easy to find
8) It covers everything - beginner, intermediate,
advanced topics. Lines, arcs, circles -> object tracking
and dimension styles -> dimension families, plot style
tables -> 3D commands & custom menus/toolbars. I think
its like 80 hours or more of training. I haven't finished
it yet.
9) The author writes back if you email her questions about
the tutorials. I didn't understand Otrack (even after
I did the tutorial which I didn't read carefully enough)
and she wrote back when I emailed her. She knew exactly
what I was doing wrong. She's very polite.
I recommend this CD very highly. In fact I like both the
things I purchased from this company. The VIZ CD is very good too.
One warning - this isn't a "for dummies" product. Its for people that actually want to learn the product and use it to do real work. If you are looking for something really easy this product might not work well for you.

Summary: Just Like The Man Said!
Comment: Easy to install, lots and lots of projects, covers the easy stuff and works up to the hard stuff. I bought it for my office and now everyone is borrowing it. The publisher does answer questions about the tutorials by the way. You email them - they email you back. Pretty cool.
