Auto CAD is the leading software tool for creating technical and
architectural drawings, but it definitely doesn’t lead in the ‘easy
to master’ category. That’s why there’s Auto CAD and Auto CAD LT
All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies–the perfect way to
break a complex topic into bite-size, easy-to-understand pieces.
Once you get the hang of using Auto CAD and its slightly less
feature-rich cousin, Auto CAD LT, you discover that it offers
wonderful advantages. Auto CAD allows you to
* Create precision to 14 significant digits
* Re-use portions of your drawings by copying and pasting
* Draw things full size and print your drawings in any scale
* Produce drawings that are easier to read when reduced
* Electronically share and distribute drawings
* Design in 2D or 3D
So obviously, the trick is to speed up that ‘getting the hang of
it’ process. That’s where Auto CAD and Auto CAD LT All-in-One Desk
Reference For Dummies comes in especially handy. Ten
easy-to-follow minibooks cover every aspect of Auto CAD, including
the latest features of Auto CAD 2007, so you can find just what you
need to know quickly and easily. You’ll get the scoop on
* Auto CAD basics, such as setting up drawings, finding your way
around the interface, and using all the tools
* Drawing and modifying objects in 2D and annotating your
drawings
* 3D modeling and viewing, working with solids and surfaces, and
rendering
* Understanding how Auto CAD LT differs from Auto CAD and deciding
which program you need
* Advanced drafting skills, including organizing drawings,
working with blocks, and using Auto CAD utilities
* Setting up your drawings for plotting to paper and
publishing
* Sharing your drawings online for collaboration
* Customizing and programming Auto CAD to make it work the way you
want it to
In the familiar, friendly For Dummies fashion, Auto CAD
and Auto CAD LT All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies gives you
plain-English explanations and step-by-step directions. Written by
a pair of Auto Desk Authorized Authors, this handy guide will help
make your relationship with Auto CAD a happy and productive one.
