What Instructors Say

I have been teaching with Rick Ellis and Russell Martin's AutoCAD Map 3D books several years. These Map 3D books have been an excellent teaching resource with easy to follow steps. I would recommend these books to any teacher looking for a practical guide.
Nick Shayeghi
Central Piedmont Community College
Rick Ellis is one of the leading authorities on Civil Engineering & Surveying software in the United States and the author of the Practical Guide series. He lectures and teaches seminars across the country. I have attended his seminars. The textbooks Rick Ellis has written have been an exceptional addition to my classroom. They are written with thought and imagination. They are direct and to the point. They are easy for the students to follow yet challenging enough to keep the students interested and using their skills and learning to think through exercises. I would suggest all Civil Engineering and Surveying professors review his books. Once read and reviewed I would venture to say, they will be using them in the classroom.

More About The Book

An introduction to the most useful features of this powerful, yet often overlooked Autodesk software. The authors are skilled instructors with direct industry and classroom experience.

This book was written using the 2005 version of Map, but is appropriate for 2004 and 2006 versions, as well.

This book is suitable for anyone from general AutoCAD users to seasoned professionals in the Civil Engineering, Surveying, Mapping, Land Development or GIS industries. It is 432 pages long, organized into 19 chapters.

This book is largely exercise based, providing step-by-step procedures for many common tasks. While it continues to be used as the framework for instructor led training, it can also stand alone as reference material for users of all skill levels. The included dataset is structured so that you can pick up at any chapter and learn just the features you need to accomplish a specific task. Or, follow the exercises cover-to-cover for an excellent grasp of all the major features of this powerful and versatile software.
