The Illustrated AutoCAD 2006 Quick Reference is the latest and greatest reference available for AutoCAD 2006. It provides a complete, up-to-date listing of commands, functions and system variables in one comprehensive text. The book is well-organized and a must-have for everyone from students to CAD managers.

The book lists all AutoCAD 2006 commands, functions and system variables in alphabetical order, and it gives a brief description of the item as well as any options that may apply.
