Description
Beginning AutoCAD 2005
is a course based on learning and practising the essentials of 2D drawing using AutoCAD.
Bob McFarlane's hands-on approach is uniquely suited to independent learning and use on courses. The focus on 2D drawing in one book,
ensures the reader gets a thorough grounding in the subject, with a greater depth of coverage than tends to be available from general
introductions to AutoCAD. As a result, this book provides a true, step-by-step, detailed exploration of the AutoCAD functions required
at each stage of producing a 2D drawing – an approach often not found in the many software reference guides available.
The emphasis
on learning through doing makes this book ideal for anyone involved in engineering, construction or architecture – where the focus is
on productivity and practical skills. The author has also matched the coverage to the requirements of City and Guilds, Edexcel (BTEC)
and SQA syllabuses.
New features in AutoCAD 2005 are covered in this book including: Drafting Tools; Drawing Management; Drawing Output;
Plot and Publish Tools; Productivity Tools; Sheet Set Manager, and Tool Palette Enhancements. The result is a useful refresher course
for anyone using AutoCAD at this level, and those upgrading to the new software release. The course is also designed to be fully relevant
to anyone using other recent releases, including AutoCAD 2004.
Bob McFarlane is Curriculum Manager for CAD and New
Media at Motherwell College, Scotland, and an Autodesk Educational Developer.
Audience
First year undergraduate engineering, construction and architecture students, all using CAD. Students taking vocational courses in engineering
drawing and design (mechanical engineering and manufacturing). Professional engineers working with AutoCAD for 2D drawing, or any user
wishing to update their knowledge of 2D CAD use from earlier versions of the software.
