Description
For courses in Basic Computer-Aided Design, Computer Graphics, Computer-Aided Design and Graphics, Introduction to Computer Graphics, Technical Illustration, Solid Modeling, Electro-Mechanical Design, AutoCAD (R) 3D, and Intermediate CAD.
This book on drawing is appropriate for use in either lecture or self-paced AUTOCAD and has enough exercises for several semester-length courses using the AutoCAD (R) 2004 program. Individual commands are explained as they are used to make a recognizable drawing; not as isolated descriptions that have little connection to where they are used. The new features of AutoCAD (R) 2004 such as gradient hatch, plotting of rendered drawings using the new Shade Plot option in the Plot dialog box, smaller file size, multiple redo, and reconfigured AutoCAD (R) DesignCenter with the DC Online feature, are covered in detail. The new chapter F with sketches that can be used for approximately 200 exercises is a welcome source of problems for the busy instructor. These problems range from simple to complex.
