AutoCAD 2007 and AutoCAD LT 2007: No Experience Required (No Experience Required)by David Frey

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful: 3D coverage, June 2, 2006 Reviewer:Mark Waldo "Mark Waldo" (Philadelphia) - I work with 160 people in one office of a large national architecture firm that just migrated from AutoCAD 2002 to AutoCAD 2007. Excited about AutoCAD 2007's refined 3D user interface and expanded capabilities in this area I bought this book for use in our office. As it turns out, Frey does not include a full discussion of 3D. Instead he relegates it to a 46 page appendix stating, "Covering 3D in real depth is beyond the scope of this book...." (page 609). The book description above that states, "Understand the new 3D capabilities that make AutoCAD 2007 the complete design tool" is misleading. -Mark
