More About This Title AutoCAD 2000 Bible
English
About the Author Ellen Flnkelstein learned AutoCAD in Israel, where she always got to pore over the manual because she was the only one who could read it in English. After returning to the United States, she started consulting and teaching AutoCAD as well as other computer programs, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Ellen has written tutorial textbooks on Word and PowerPoint in Peter Norton's Introduction to Computers series. Her first book was AutoCAD For Dummies Quick Reference, which is just coming out in a new edition, AutoCAD 2000 For Dummies Quick Reference. She was a contributing author to AutoCAD 13 Secrets, also published by IDG Books Worldwide. The previous edition of this book, AutoCAD 14 Bible, appeared in 1997.
