Residential Design Using AutoCAD 2007 [Paperback]

Daniel John Stine (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 4, 2006

This textbook starts with a basic introduction to AutoCAD 2007 and then begins a house floor plan. Using step-by-step tutorial lessons, the residential project is followed through to create elevations, sections, details, etc. Throughout the project, new AutoCAD commands are covered at the appropriate time. Focus is placed on the most essential parts of a command rather than an exhaustive review of every sub-feature of a particular command.

I found chapter 5 difficult to follow. Some of the information was hard to follow and doesn't help if the dimensions from another chapter is not in harmony with another chapter and/or exercise. some other students and i a bit slow because most of the time we were trying to figure out what it was saying (had to depend on the intructor a lot).The chapter before and after are o.k.(with minor error). Other than that it was an alright tutorial. I learned more new tricks which is good.
