Autodesk Press Announces New Professional AutoCAD 2002 Books

Practical Approach Benefits AutoCAD Users in the Workplace

ALBANY, NY - September 5, 2001 - Autodesk Press, an imprint of Thomson Learning and a leader in educational resources for AutoCAD market, has announced the upcoming publication of a professionally-oriented series that will help CAD teams learn and upgrade to Autodesk's AutoCAD 2002 software with minimum disruption of their work process. The three new titles are written with the professional AutoCAD user in mind, and every user level is covered by one of these books.

AutoCAD 2002: Migration Manual (Delmar/August 24, 2001/$39.95), AutoCAD 2002: Complete (Delmar/September 1, 2001/$49.95), and AutoCAD 2002: Professional (Delmar/September 20, 2001/$39.95) are written by AutoCAD authorities and experienced authors Bill Burchard and Dave Pitzer, along with Complete co-author Art Liddle. The authors' "smart" style and thorough coverage of material is conducive to efficient self-training, while assuming that readers are curious and capable of learning quickly.

Migration Manual is the only book of its kind in the market today, guiding users through the upgrades and changes in AutoCAD from Release 14 through the new AutoCAD 2002 software. A user of any release can quickly and easily "migrate" to a newer software version by reading this book, and feel that they have made the transition seamlessly. Since Autodesk no longer offers technical support for R14, thereby driving users to the 2002 release, Migration Manual is an essential resource for former users of R14.

Complete is the all-encompassing reference for a competent PC user who wants to learn how to use AutoCAD, covering mainly 2D topics, but also including 3D and Advanced for those novices who wish to become more involved with advanced features. CAD team members and managers who use AutoCAD on a regular basis will prefer Professional, which will help them to become power users with the expertise required to join the ranks of today's highly skilled and well-paid corporate CAD managers. Customizing interface and tools, creating custom applications, and maximizing the power of AutoCAD tools and features, and management topics are all covered extensively in AutoCAD 2002: Professional. All three books will be available directly from Delmar or local bookstores and online sites.
