This review is from: AutoCAD 2005: A Problem-Solving Approach (Paperback)

This book contains a detailed explanation of AutoCAD 2005 and 2004 commands and how to use them in solving drafting and design problems. Every AutoCAD command and customizing technique is thoroughly explained with examples and illustrations that make it easy to understand their function and application. At the end of each topic, there are examples that illustrate the function of the command and how it can be used in the drawing. When you are done reading this book, you will be able to use AutoCAD commands to make a drawing, create text, make and insert symbols, dimension a drawing, create 3D objects and solid models, write script files, define linetype and hatch patterns, write your own menus, define new commands, write programs in the AutoLISP and Visual LISP programming languages, customize the status line using DIESEL, and edit the Program Parameter file.
Some of the features of this text book are:
· Step-by-step instructions for creating text, making and inserting symbols, and dimensioning drawings promote efficient use of the software while strengthening your problem-solving skills.
· Customizing and advanced techniques (such as creating templates, script files, and slide shows) use to enhance productivity are thoroughly explained with examples and illustrations.
· Dual emphasis on conceptual learning and hands-on practice fosters a thorough understanding of the power of AutoCAD 2005 for engineers, architects, and drafters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great work by Tickoo, November 2, 2004

This review is from: AutoCAD 2005: A Problem-Solving Approach (Paperback)

This is another good work by Tickoo. He has written books that help us learn drafting tools easily. I like his method of writing. This book has more of a theory compared to his other books on proe and inventor. But this book also has good examples that cannot be found elsewhere.
