As practical as it's functional, this reader-friendly, hardbound book focuses on using AutoCAD as a drafting tool. It progresses into an AutoCAD book with a practical approach that emphasizes 2D techniques, offers discipline specific workbooks, and a website. The book will help readers understand the foundations for the software's commands, learn basic skills, and more advanced drawing areas such as dimensioning an object. Based on current standards, it offers a non-discipline approach that is equally accessible to the readers/students of mechanics, architecture or electronics, and weaves many examples and exercises throughout to expose users to real-world problems and situations. Appropriate for readers interested in design/industrial technology or engineering technology.

AutoCAD LT 98: Basics Through Advanced

Madsen, David

Rawls, Rod

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 .

Unlike other books on AutoCAD (which teach isolated commands) this one enables users to relate commands to produce drawings—and presents topics in the order in which they are actually used. Numerous drawing, plotting and modeling exercises are provided throughout. A four-part organization covers preparing to draw, Basic AutoCAD, advanced AutoCAD, and applications. For users of AutoCAD 2002.

Kirkpatrick, James

Includes exercises for several semester-length courses using the AutoCAD[registered] 2005 program. This book on drawing explains the individual commands as they are used to make a recognizable drawing. It covers the concepts from AutoCAD[registered] 2004 such as gradient hatch, and plotting rendered drawings directly from AutoCAD.

For courses in Engineering Design and Computations, Introduction to Civil Engineering, and Autodesk Civil 3D. Unique in approach, Autodesk Civil 3D offers an innovative blend of core civil engineering concepts and thorough Autodesk Civil 3D instruction. It moves beyond a how-to manual, to explain why the software produces specific results and how it can be used to solve specific civil engineering problems. Flexible in design, the book begins with an overview of the software and its interface, introduces a comprehensive design project and then covers advanced usage of each of the software's capabilities. Ideal for both lecture and lab, the text uses screen shots, dialogue boxes, CAD images, and digital AutoCAD files to introduce the procedures and applications of Autodesk Civil 3D.
