    Question Suggested Reading (books 'n' stuff).

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi guys.

    Newbie here so be gentle.

    Anyhow, I’m new to all this CAD malarkey. I’ve just enrolled on a City and Guilds 2D level 2 course.

    Now apart from the course material is there any books which, in your expert (well, you no more than me!!) opinions are a ‘must have’?

    I’m really wanting books which can support me through my first level 2 course, but which would still be of use after completing both my L3 2D and my 3D courses (which I intend to do).

    Many thanks.

    B.

    Mostly do drafting related to manufacturing. From doing site layouts with proposed updates, additions and renovations to be budgeted and submitted for bid, to updating and changing existing drawings to reflect maintenance and repair/revision work done on site.

    I am sure you will get more responses on more books. Check the "RSS Feeds" section on this forum Ellen herself has a blog and may have more books.

    Go to the "User CP" at the top of the forum, you can set the email feature in there. Under "edit options" and near the top under "messaging & notification".
