ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
T here are many hard-working people giving their best effort to produce Mas-
tering AutoCAD 2000 . I’d like to offer my sincerest gratitude to those people who
helped bring this book to you.
Heartfelt thanks go to the editorial and production teams at Sybex for their
efforts in getting this book to press on an incredible schedule. Developmental Edi-
tor Melanie Spiller got things going and offered many great suggestions. Project
Editor Rebecca Rider did a great job managing the project. Sam Sol Matzkin, tech-
nical editor, provided helpful suggestions and made sure I was on the right track.
Sarah Lemaire edited this edition with precision and care. Franz Baumhackl, elec-
tronic publishing specialist, created the pages you see before you, and Shannon
Murphy, production coordinator, steadfastly proofread every one of those pages.
Finally, Ginger Warner and Heather O’Connor compiled the CD and made it easy
and fun to use.
Thanks also go to the people at Autodesk for their support. Cynde Hargrave
helped coordinate our efforts with Autodesk. Kathy Fanning was always very
helpful in answering my many questions, and Denis Cadu provided the materials
I needed and was also always quick to respond to my questions. I’d also like to
thank Jeff Allen and Dan Morrison on the AutoCAD 2000 Beta Team for provid-
ing software on a timely basis.
I also wish to thank the many contributors to this book. First, a big thanks to Mike
Gunderloy for his great work on ActiveX Automation. Many thanks to my friend
and colleague R. Bob Callori for his work on the AutoCAD Instant Reference on the
CD-ROM. David Fry and Bill Hill helped sort out the features of this new version of
AutoCAD 2000.
The handiwork of Paul Richardson and Christine Merredith of Technical Publi-
cations can be seen in the sidebars that discuss the San Francisco Main Library.
Thanks for the use of your wonderful drawings. And while we are on the subject,
