Before that, he worked as an independent consultant for more than three years, and before that he was a resident of a cubicle farm for about eight years, where he worked as a systems analyst creating custom applications. Even though Lee doesn’t work for himself anymore, he still runs his Web site, www.hyperpics.com, and his blog, hyperpics.blogs.com. He has been using AutoCAD since 1994, when he was first exposed to Release 12 for DOS, and has been customizing and programming AutoCAD since 1996. Lee was an AutoCAD consultant and trainer for more than ten years, and has been teach- ing at Autodesk University since 2004. For over a decade, Lee has authored a variety of works that include articles for CAD magazines and white papers for Autodesk and has been a contribut- ing author on a few occasions for AutoCAD books. He has been a technical editor for the recent editions of AutoCAD For Dummies and AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT Bible. The first version of this book, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, was his first venture into being a co- author for a book before going off and authoring the book AutoCAD 2008 3D Modeling Workbook For Dummies. 01 243787 ffirst.qxp 4/7/08 1:22 PM Page v 01 243787 ffirst.qxp 4/7/08 1:22 PM Page vi Dedication To my grandmother, Theresa Severa (Grams, GG and all the other names you go by), for always being there. I also can’t forget the influence you have on my family and of course all the perks of having such a loving person in our family. Author’s Acknowledgments I have to give a special thanks to the great folks at Wiley for being supportive through this entire project. There is always that one shining star on a project that keeps things moving like a well-oiled machine, and that individual was my project and copy editor for this edition, Susan Pink. A special thanks also goes out to my technical editor, Mark Douglas, for agreeing to work with me on this edition of the book. Thanks to all the folks at Autodesk, who are all dedicated to the work they do. An extra thanks to Shaan Hurley and Bud Schroeder. Before joining Autodesk, they were always willing to take time out of their busy days to answer my questions during this project. 01 243787 ffirst.qxp 4/7/08 1:22 PM Page vii Publisher’s Acknowledgments We’re proud of this book; please send us your comments through our online registration form located at www.dummies.com/register/.
