For freshman and sophomore level courses in Computer-Aided Design, and AutoCAD Drafting.
A new edition covering the latest version of AutoCAD, Release 14. Using a hands-on approach, this practical, applications-oriented text carefully guides students through the commands necessary to use AutoCAD, teaching them the use of this powerful drawing tool in the best way possible—by having them use it to make actual industry-style drawings. Coverage presents commands one-at-a-time, in a sequence similar to that of a manual drafting text. Command functions are illustrated by class-tested examples— industry-ready drawings that are fully-illustrated, from beginning to finished plotted sheet. In every case, examples are carefully tied to applications and presented in step-by-step, prompt/ response sequence. Later exercises provide suggested commands so that students learn to work on their own without prompt-response tutorials.
