After reading this book, I found out the book contain a lot of information on AutoCAD with latest reference to the latest software. In addition, there is tips and tricks which help user on using AutoCAD that allowed the user to create fast design in details. I highly recommended engineers, students and professional use this book for references in their engineering drawing from house to machine or their own products design.

Disclaimer========I have received a free PDF version of this book by Packt for a review/feedback. However, this review is my own and not influenced by Packt in any way.Review/Feedback========"Practical Autodesk AutoCAD 2023 and AutoCAD LT 2023" is authored by Jaiprakash Pandey and Yasser shoukry, published by Packt.The book covers from basic of AutoCAD to an advanced level, covering topics on both 2D drafting and 3D modeling along with rendering. The book is based on AutoCAD 2023 windows version but old version users can also use the book. The authors have explained the commands in details which is very helpful for the new users.I didn’t liked how the index was placed on multiple pages in the PDF as I had to scroll back and forth to read the index. So some improvement can be made to the index. Authors should have included the sample files which they have used to explain the commands. This would make it easier for the user to try out the command and follow the steps given in the book. Also authors could have explained the tricks involved with various commands making the learning process more engaging.Overall, I can recommend this book for the users who wants to start their journey or enhance their drafting skills in AutoCAD.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.
