AutoCAD textbooks

[Anonymous]

I will be teaching a course called Advanced CAD in the Spring.  The course uses a book by Sham Tickoo called Customizing AutoCAD 2013 and I'm currently going though the material to prepare for teaching this class.  This is the newest version of the book now published by CADCIM Technologies.

For those of you who have worked through this textbook, what are you thoughts on it?  Did you find the material useful as a CAD designer?

AutoCAD 2016 will be out in the spring 😞

2016! The fact that new versions of AutoCAD keep coming out each year helps justify teaching it and the program never ceases to amaze me.  

I'm dissapointed that the book, "Customizing AutoCAD 2013" appears identical to the 2011 version other than having one less chapter.  This will be the first course I teach and I'm excited to refine the material and work towards the best objectives.
