Opis

This text is a course based on learning and practising the essentials of 2D design using AutoCAD. It presents a step-by-step course that focuses on the AutoCAD functions that are needed for each stage of producing a 2D drawing. The emphasis on learning through doing should make 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 (BTECT) and SQA syllabuses.

Recenzje

Amazon Reviews (on previous editions of Beginning AutoCAD):

"I bought this book as a complete AutoCAD novice and actually worked right through it (which is unusual for me) and I have to say it is the most user friendly and yet informative/useful book on the subject (book 2 on modelling is also a must!!)."

"Excellent book for the beginner."
