The discussion centers on the best resources for re-learning AutoCAD 2004, particularly for individuals with prior experience using AutoCAD 14. A recommended book is "AutoCAD 2004: A Problem Solving Approach" by Sham Tickoo, which covers both fundamental and advanced 3D drawing techniques. Users express a need for guidance on setting up a four-view system, including front, top, side, and isometric views, without compromising the layout. The conversation highlights the importance of updated learning materials to navigate the changes in the software's interface.

I have had a couple of CAD classes, but that was 3 yr. ago using AutoCAD 14.
I have recently borrowed a copy of AutoCAD 2004 and i have noticed that, from what i can remember, a lot of the menues and where they lead have changed. My question is what are the better books for re-learning AutoCAD especially version 2004. May be even ones that would teach me something new. My biggest problem is remembering how to set up a 4 view system with a front, top, side, and an Iso. view without screwing up my boarder. But anyway, advice on books would be great.

I'd have to recommend Autocad 2004: A Problem Solving Approach by Sham Tickoo. I used that book in my Engineering Drawing class last year and it explains everything from the basics to advanced 3D drawing.
