Product Description

This easy-to-understand manual teaches users how to make architectural drawings using a computer and the AutoCAD 2005 program. It employs the prompt-response format in beginning exercises of all chapters to teach commands in a drawing situation. The book then provides exercises so learners can apply the commands on their own. New features of AutoCAD Release 2005 are described—e.g.: easy to use Table command for quickly creating professional quality tables such as parts lists, door and window schedules; Sheet Sets command for organizing drawings into sets with dynamic contents pages and other helpful features; redesigned AutoCAD Design Center; modeless dialog boxes; gradient hatch patterns for rendering isometric and two-dimensional drawings; and new plot/print dialog box for 2D and 3D printing and plotting. For individuals who need to learn AutoCAD—especially its fashion and interior design, computer-and architectural graphics, and space planning applications.

Customer Reviews

it's ok
This book tells you what to put in the command line. If you know a bit of AutoCAD then it's okay, otherwise it's just like following arrows. It would help if the book would explain further why you are doing the steps instead of just telling you what to do. The problem is, if your plan is way different than what's in the book then it can be a bit confusing. Nevertheless, it's a good book to have - buy "like new"
