Omura on Autocad
Joseph E. Stimpert , 2010-07-12 ( 100% helpful)

I have used several of George Omura's mastering AutoCAD books for different versions of the program over the years. All have provided the overview information right down to the intracies of AutoCAD. In addition the disk he includes has searchable pdf of the entire book, and lessons templates I find useful. I've never been an expert with this program but with Omura's text I can find the information and utilize the program to the ends I need.

It is an indespensible tool for me in creating construction drawings for small construction company and personal drawings.

Omura's AutoCAD 2011
Tanguero , 2010-07-28 ( 100% helpful)

I bought Omura's book for AutoCAD 14 when I knew absolutely nothing about AutoCAD. It was a great help and guided me through the drawing process a step at a time presenting a new concept in each chapter. The 2011 version is the same but of course updated. I was able to skip through some things, although its worth a look to see new stuff that has been added to the program. Admittedly, Omura is the only text I've used, but when I bought 2011, his was the only book I looked for. It is well indexed, so it is good as a reference in addition to being a good first book.
