Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014: Autodesk Official Press

The book was plainly written. It included not only the normal text book instructional information on using the software but also examples that were more practical that represented using the software in real work situations. It was a good book. After using AutoCAD for 30 years and civil engineering design software for over 20 years this book did not just represent how to use the menus and drop downs, but how to do a project.

I like the writing style -- helps me to read quicker and cover more ground faster! Plus, there are examples and tutorials and bonus chapters to download from the web!

Very detailed and compliments those YouTube videos you try to learn from. Has access to accompanying files for practice but still a bit difficult to get proficient quickly due to the software being so expensive and no way to get older versions for practice purposes. Be aware authors change after this edition so compare to see if this edition is better for you opposed to spending more money on the newest edition that might be edited.

I HAVE BEEN USING AUTOCAD SINCE THE DOS DAYS I WAS FINALLY FORCED TP START USING CIVIL 3D WHEN XP SUPPORT WAS ENDED AND I PURCHASED THIS BOOK TO HELP ME GET GOING WITH CIVIL 3D, WELL IN MY OPPINION THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE BEGINNER

Much better than the limited tutorial included with Civil 3D. Whenever I upgrade, I get the relevant book in this series to learn the new features.

Has all the good tips for Civil 3D. My drafters use it more than I do. But it has had everything I have looked for.

It's a simpleton one because It seems to be a photocopied one.I thought it to be a better one.

This book will answer you questions about Civil 3D - So good my Colonel refer to it regularly.

The overall condition and quality of the book didn't seem new.The book should have been plastic wrapped.There were small scratches on the cover of the book and a small stain on the inside of the first page.

Easy to Follow, Covers a lot.
