Back Cover Copy
Unlike the other available books on AutoCAD - which tend to be little more than dictionaries of commands with few, if any, working drawings tacked on the back, and simplistic exercises with no dimensions - this self-study guide offers a hands-on activity-based, task-oriented approach to the use of AutoCAD as drafting tool - complete with techniques, tips, shortcuts, and insights designed to increase efficiency. Covers Basic Two-Dimensional Entities (lines; circles and drawing aids; layers, colors, and linetypes; template drawings; arcs and polar arrays; object snap), and Text, Dimensions, and Other Complex Entities (text; dimensions; polylines; groups and blocks; isometric drawing), and Three-Dimensional Modeling (wire frame models; surface models; solid models). Drawings include a wide range of applications - primarily focusing on mechanical drawings but including some architectural drawings in most chapters. For Engineers, Designers, Drafters, and Architects.
