This self-paced tutorial helps interior designers and architects learn AutoCAD (Release 14) by actually using it in planning and designing a wide variety of realistic interiors. Using a non-technical writing style and hands-on PROMPT/RESPONSE tutorial approach, it takes readers step-by-step through the creation of all of the drawings necessary for a space planning project (Tenant Space Project) — from floor plans, elevations, and furniture planning, through power and lighting plans, to isometric and three-dimensional drawings. Four other projects — obtained from designers presently working in the field — are included as practice exercises. Contains 493 line drawings — most drawn “to scale” — that provide readers with visual confirmation of the accuracy of their drawings. Additional tips, notes, and warnings alert readers to shortcuts, pitfalls, and special features of the software. For interior designers and architects.

AutoCAD for Architectural Drawing Using AutoCAD 2000

Software

For freshman-level courses in Technical Drafting, Basic Drafting, Engineering Graphics, and Beginning AutoCAD. Totally self-contained, this book teaches the fundamentals of drafting through the use of sketches on gridded paper done with triangles, a circle template, and a minimum of other tools and supplies (only a pencil and eraser are absolutely necessary). In addition, this text integrates a practical [and empowering] introduction to AutoCAD, providing sample drawings on a CD-ROM that are the same as, or similar to, the pencil sketches found in the text. **Published in an earlier version as Learning Basic Drafting Using Pencil Sketches and AutoCAD .
