Description
Alf Yarwood provides a practical, structured course of work matched to the latest release of AutoCAD. After introducing first principles
and the creation of 2D technical drawings, he goes on to demonstrate the construction of 3D solid and surface model drawings and rendering.
All the new features of the 2010 software release are taken into account and the increasing emphasis on 3D solid modelling in the software
is reflected in the book. The 2D chapters are also suitable for those learning how to use AutoCAD LT 2010.
Introduction to AutoCAD 2010
includes: – Hundreds of full-colour drawings and screen-shots illustrating the stages within the design process – Worked examples and
exercises throughout the text, linking the use of AutoCAD to realworld engineering practice – Start of chapter learning outcome summaries
and end of chapter revision notes and
exercises to check the readers' understanding
Readers will also be able to visit a free companion
website at
http://books.elsevier.com/companions/9781856178686, where they will find worked solutions
and AutoCAD drawing files of stages
and results for the exercises in the book, as well as further exercises and multiple-choice questions with answers.
Suitable for all
new users of AutoCAD, this book is particularly applicable to vocational and introductory level undergraduate courses in engineering
and construction. Further Education students in the UK will find this an ideal textbook to cater for the City & Guilds 4353 and 2303
qualifications and the relevant CAD units of BTEC National and BTEC Higher National Engineering and Construction schemes from Edexcel.
Many Foundation Degrees also contain CAD modules for which this book can be of use.
Audience
Students taking vocational courses in engineering drawing and design, undergraduate students in engineering, construction and architecture. Professional engineers learning AutoCAD for the first time.
