Shoe, would you please give me some information about your text books for AutoCAD. I have been using Terry's text for my R10 classes, however I would like to have some supplemental materials. Thanks, Bob

Hey, don't go chang'in books on me. <big grin> Actually, your request for supplemental material reinforces a point I was trying to make on another thread earlier in this section. Instructors, such as yourself, want to easily assemble a set of materials that fit their style and course objectives. I get disappointed when I see a book or set of learning materials that expect or require you to begin on the first page and end on the last page. Instructors want to pick and choose bits and pieces from several places. If the materials are really good, the chunks will be bigger. Terry Wohlers

Robert, There are three versions in print now: R10, R11, and R12. Each is a complete coverage of ACAD, including customizing, 3D, solid modeling, rendering, AutoShade, intro to AutoLISP,and DOS. Solution manuals/Instructor guides are available for each, as is student work disks, and instructor disks that include drawing solutions for most problems in the text. Another book called "AutoCAD Essentials" is a more abbreviated book designed for introductory courses, high schools, etc. Each chapter begins with a short tutorial. Lots of test questions and problems at the end of each chapter. Call 800-323-0440 & ask for Todd Scheffers or Dick Snyder to get examination copies. Thanks for your interest. Shoe

Shoe, Thanks for the information about your text books. However, it would be helpful to know the titles when I contact the publisher. Thanks again, Bob
