Product Description
The first book of a three-book series, AutoCAD 2004: A Building Approach, Book 1 covers material from opening the AutoCAD program for the very first time to being able to efficiently use the basic commands to set up, draw, and print drawings. Using a modularized approach that groups related commands and operations together, this book focuses on teaching the most efficient method of operation that enables the user to quickly become a productive CAD operator. Equipping readers with the practical skills required to succeed in this field, the book also contains real-world application exercises at each module's conclusion and a final project at the book's end that a new CAD operator might be required to do in an actual employment situation. Examining different techniques for putting lines on a drawing and drawing specific shapes such as rectangles, circles, arcs, and ellipses, the book also explores the different types of engineering units and their use in engineering. For people with a career or desire to pursue a career in engineering or computers.
