Organized in 13 sections, AutoCAD®Pocket Reference, 6th Edition is an indispensable aid and handy reference. It is perfect for students, teachers, and all on the job AutoCAD® users who are on the go and need an occasional reminder on how to use a command. Note that this book is for use with AutoCAD 2013 and 2014 versions.

Both are by the same authors. Also available are Shrock’s exercise workbooks for other versions of AutoCAD. See all of IP’s choices here.
