5A Treasure Chest of Productivity Tips  Oct 03, 2007 By dave ea "dave ea"
It is not surprising, considering the fact that Lynn Allen is the Technical Evangelist for Autodesk and that she meets with thousands of AutoCAD users every year, that once again her book is packed to the ceiling with fantastic tips, insights, tricks and strategies for putting AutoCAD in high gear. The book offers invaluable information in bite-sized morsels which can easily and gradually be implemented into any AutoCAD-based process to simplify and streamline it. Lynn also maintains an equally beneficial blog at [..] if you want a sampling of the kind of material conveniently compiled in this book. Highly recommended for anyone seeking "AutoCAD PowerUser" proficiency.

5Great Book for seasoned AutoCAD users!  Aug 18, 2007 By Chan F. Lee
I have been using AutoCAD since 1992, after the first couple years of using AutoCAD, I stopped learning new tricks and learning better ways of using AutoCAD because I was able to do my job with the set of AutoCAD skills I have. This book helps me brush up my CAD skills and taught me many new tricks to be more efficient. It was never too late to teach an old dog new tricks!

5Recommended  Nov 10, 2008 By Pongo65
A great book for the beginner but also for people who are using Autocad on a daily basis in a professional setting. At first I found the tone of the book a little too chatty and kind of light but the information is true heavyweight material. There are hundreds of tips and great advice. A lot of which is what the authors call "secret" because they are not written anywhere. Serious, meaty, tips. The kind of tips that makes one go: "You're kidding! I can do that?"

This book makes a great pairing with Autocad: Secrets Every User Should Know, (which is a little more in-depth).

5A FRIENDLY-USER'S BOOK  Jul 08, 2008 By Royal Tiger "CMR"
Written in a very own Allen's style, this item offers great tips on common topics that not always, and not necesarily, are mastered by intermediate users. Onstott's work is very useful also. Very good purchase for new users who wish to push a little more. And for the Professionals? Not bad. A very good reminder about seemed-to-be-easy daily matters at office.
Paper and Printing quality of the product are simply excellent.
