Introduction to AutoCAD 2024: A Modern Perspective
Autor Paul Richard, Paul F. Richarden Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2023
Projects are included at the end of each chapter and provide hands-on experience creating various types of mechanical, architectural, civil, and electrical drawings. This text is appropriate for introductory and intermediate AutoCAD courses.
- Introduces AutoCAD, drafting skills, editing techniques, working with complex objects, annotating drawings, outputting your work, advanced drawing and construction methods, and collaborating with others on the web.
- Pedagogy reinforces learning objectives throughout, with chapter objectives; key term definitions; command grids that concisely offer multiple ways of achieving the task at hand; New version icons that highlight new software features quickly; and discipline icons that identify the field of study throughout.
- Hands-on exercises appear throughout the text to reinforce learning, and end-of-chapter projects require students to demonstrate a full understanding of the concepts presented in the chapter.
