Resource Books

[Anonymous]

Have any previous Autocadd/now Archicadd converts bought or utilized the book, "Archicadd for the Autocadd User"? I have been looking at it from Amazon, and over course when you don't have a copy to browse, you want to know Is it a viable resource? Would it be helpful to have a copy in the office? Currently, no one in our office has gone through a training-Would this book be helpful before, during, or after a training session?

After years of using Autocadd, there are tricks, techniques, etc that we use daily-I'm hoping for a resource to maybe compare the two, or give me a "to do 'x' in autocadd, now perform functions 'y'"...

Or is there a better resource book available instead of this one?

Any suggestions/comments/advice is oh so welcome.
Thanks-

We have a copy of the book here.

It was written for Archicad 7. Since Archicad is now on release 9, the book it pretty badly out of date.

it does a fair job of explaining concepts that still apply, but it is hard to sort out what still applies and what does not if you do now already know the program.

I am much more impressed by the new edition of Project Framework. While it is written for Archicad 8.1, its concepts are much more current, and most of the advice is general relating to working with a 3D CAD software.
