Mr.
David Byrnes: CAD Systems Magazine (June 2000)"CADD
Primer is a fine introduction to the field of computer-aided drafting
and design. Its discipline- independent,
platform-independent and program-independent coverage has something
for everyone, from the prospective Pro/E modeller on her Unix workstation
to the prospective FormZ designer on his Macintosh. And if you’re
no longer a "prospective" CADD user yourself, you probably
know someone who’s starting out in the field. Do them—and maybe
yourself—a favor, and give them a copy of CADD Primer." Read

Mr.
Tony Zilles: Editor CADinfo.net magazine (Oct. 2000):“The
CADD Primer is an ideal book for high school or college-level study
of CADsystems. It is also suitable for those considering CAD for
work or hobby use but who are confused or intimidated by the technology
and the jargon that goes with it. The CADD Primer contains all the
information that very quickly becomes second knowledge to those
who use CAD systems on a regular basis. Most "old hands"
learned the information the CADD Primer contains over many years.
For the new recruit, the body of "must-have" basic information
presents a great hurdle within itself, even before learning a particular
CAD program and the discipline that you intend to use it with. All
the basic information anyone could need is available, accessible
and affordable in the CADD Primer. Highly recommended.”

Book Review, Wisconsin Bookwatch (August,

invaluable, user-friendly how-to manual....CADD Primer is a unique
and highly recommended addition to any professional or architectural
school reference collection."
SASKATCHEWAN
school system, Canada: "Computer
Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) is an essential element of drafting.
This resource introduces the common principles of CADD that apply
to all software packages, whether it is AutoCAD, MicroStation or
Cadkey. Rather than being a how-to book, the resource is primarily
useful as a reference to key principles. Information can be learned
about topics such as drawing dimensions, zoom in and zoom out, erasing
drawings, 3D modelling and plotting. Each topic has several line
drawings and uses clear and concise writing. An index is included.
Suggested Use: Computer-Aided Drafting; Survey Course - Secondary
Level. Other Use: Design Studies" Link

Prof.
Eden Muir, CAD Dept., Columbia University:
“It is a useful and clear guide for a general
introductory course which is not product-specific.”
Mr.
James Wilson: CADD/GIS center, US Department of Defense:
“This is a good manual to use as a guide
to teach someone with no CADD experience, the basic concepts of
CADD. It is best when it is used before an actual application has
been purchased. It meets its intended goals for its audience.”
Mr.
Q. Jeffrey Ge, CAD class, State University of New York:
“I enjoyed reading the book. The material
is well organized and clearly explained in layman terms.”
Prof.
Bruce M. Coleman, CAD class, Syracuse University:
“This book would be helpful to any individual
seeking knowledge about CAD, regardless of a formal training program.”
