Step-by-step instructions for the Auto CAD fundamentals
Auto CAD 2015 Essentials contains 400 pages of full-color,
comprehensive instruction on the world’s top drafting and
architecture software. This 2015 edition features architectural,
manufacturing, and landscape architecture examples. And like
previous editions, the detailed guide introduces core concepts
using interactive tutorials and open-ended projects, which can be
completed in any order, thanks to downloadable data sets (an
especially useful feature for students and professionals studying
for Autodesk Auto CAD certification).
Unlike many other guides, which are organized around conceptual
themes or task categories, Auto CAD 2015 Essentials takes a
start-to-finish approach that mirrors how you will work with the
program in the real world. Starting with basic 2D drawing and
progressing through organizing objects with groups and blocks,
creating and editing text, and 3D modeling, the process you’ll
learn in this book is ready to take to work. Inside, each chapter
follows an intuitive structure:
* Quick discussions of concepts and learning goals
* Hands-on drafting tutorials for active learning and confidence
building
* Open-ended projects to reinforce new drafting skills
* Downloadable end files, so you can check your work
Auto CAD 2015 Essentials is great for professionals and
students who need to quickly and effectively learn the most common
features of 2D and 3D design. With over 12 years of experience
teaching and writing about this formidable design program, Scott
Onstott provides you with everything you’ll need to leverage the
full capabilities of Auto CAD.
