This project-based textbook provides a working overview of the newest version of AutoCAD Designer, the parametric modelling tool which works with AutoCAD 13. The author places the use of this tool within the larger context of engineering design and shows how it can be used as a creative tool for testing and implementing design ideas. The book is suitable for either beginning or advanced CAD users, and provides boxed review material on necessary AutoCAD commands. It begins with simple 2D models (in Chapter 2) and progresses to more complex 3D mechanical assemblies (Chapter 8). The design process presented by the author takes full advantage of Designer's parametric modelling and automatic drafting capabilities.
