    Description of AutoCAD LT 2004 Tutorial with Multimedia CD

    The publisher writes:
    This book contains a series of ten tutorial style lessons designed to introduce users to AutoCAD LT 2004.
    Each book comes bundled with a CD presenting a multimedia version of the tutorial exercises contained in the book. Users see the AutoCAD LT 2004 interface, menu picks, and models that are created while a voice overlay explains the design activities.
    The CD presentation of AutoCAD LT 2004 is independent of AutoCAD LT 2004. This is to say that the AutoCAD LT 2004 software is not required in order to use the CD.
