Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Learning Autocad...

Guys,
When AutoCad 14 was released, there was a CD included, called
Learning Assistant. I don't know if the same was included with the later
releases. A lot of years ago, when I wanted to learn the software, I loaded
Release 2.7 into my old 286 PC, and spent many nights, for about 6 months,
learning just the preliminaries. Sometimes I watch one of my friends, who is
an Acad Guru, do things that I never thought possible.
