    I like your transparency and your advice, it feels very genuine. The way you didn't just promote your own courses and books, but gave people multiple options and let them choose what suits them, you have my respect, sir.

    Thank you for your advice on ways to access AutoCAD in a free/cheaper way. Im no longer a student unfortunately, but those resources are much preferred to potential malware. I recently got offered a position at my work as an AutoCAD drafter. The current guy gave his two weeks. I previously played around with AutoCAD and sketchup briefly/infrequently, but I know my way around software and design. Unfortunately I just wasn’t proficient enough. Largely due to not fully knowing my way around AutoCAD and speed. If I had a month to learn from the original drafter I’m sure I’d get the position, but at this point he’s leaving in a week. Im motivated to learn it fully. If I can’t get this position sometime in the future, then I will at least have the skills and experience to apply elsewhere. Again thanks!

    I've been using AutoCad since 1990. I began writing lisp files to build mobile homes and modular homes complete with DCL files to accompany such.
    It's now been tweaked for commercial and residential building design.
    Also, a number of SLD files rolled into plumbing and water supply blocks and some exterior stone hatches.
    In addition, using DCL and lisp, created a closet design program with cut lists and material counts.
    All that being said, I still couldn't pass a certified professional exam because I would have to begin by reprogramming the out of box experience to match what I do.
    Tried it once at Autodesk University - I failed miserably.
    So, anyway, just to pass a certified exam doesn't necessarily mean one really knows how to use AutoCad.
    Even so, love the vids!

      Agreed Mike, but usually it's an industry standard and it is great if you are a job seeker as it gives you a competitive edge over non-certified professionals.

    Load CAD. Disable all right click menus and change it to repeat last command. Setup keyboard shortcuts. And then complete drawings twice as fast as anybody else and go ask for a fat raise.

    Thank you sir, I really don't like free things but from your explanation and my experience gained in few weeks of reading your books it's better for one to attain atleast 40% practice before he enrolls for payable packages . I do however have one request, let the IT guy help us make the videos accompanying free books compatible with our phones .some of us watch on phone as we design with laptops. I love auto cad not even for purposes of getting jobs though am an Engineer myself but those old Engineers who studied minus computers .Even if you tell me to come to India where you are I will.thats how much I love it.

    I got an autoCAD certification I 4 years ago and never used it. I was working as a land surveyor and wanted to get into the office, but some stuff happened and the company got bought out. Then I quit. I wish I would’ve continued trying to get into it.
