- Utilize the AutoCAD interface as you learn basic commands and set up your own drawings
Build on your skills with groups, elevations, hatches, and by using text in drawings
Develop sophisticated drawings as you graduate to dimensioning, creating external references, using tables, leveraging dynamic blocks, and mastering layouts and printing
Take advantage of the 3D capabilities that make AutoCAD 2008 the complete design tool
Understand how to properly use hatch patterns to add a wealth of visual information to a drawing
Learn to define the appearance of working 3D drawings using the different visual styles
See how AutoCAD's dynamic block feature lets you create and adjust blocks to meet design requirements
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I found the book very complete, covering all the common commands and tools necessary for drawing complex diagrams. Also included are explanations on drawing set-up, drawing blocks, text, title blocks, tables, printing layouts, viewports, etc. Pretty much every facet of the program is at least introduced (except LISP), including 3-D. While I will be using the program primarily in drawing electrical diagrams, the concepts and methods used for architectural drawings are exactly the same. If you are a beginner and want to get up to speed fast, this is the book you're looking for.
