Introduction to AutoCAD 2009, 2D and 3D Design

Newnes, 2008 | PDF Format | Paperback: 428 pages | Original File Size : 24.53 MB

The purpose of writing this book is to produce a text suitable for students in Further and/or Higher Education who are required to learn how to use the CAD software package AutoCAD 2009. Students taking examinations based on computer-aided design will fi nd the contents of the book of great assistance. The book is also suitable for those in industry wishing to learn how to construct technical drawings with the aid of AutoCAD 2009 and those who, having used previous releases of AutoCAD, wish to update their skills to AutoCAD 2009.

The contents of this book are basically a graded course of work, consisting of chapters giving explanations and examples of methods of constructions, followed by exercises which allow the reader to practise what has been learned in each chapter. The fi rst 11 chapters are concerned with constructing technical drawing in two dimensions. These are followed by chapters detailing the construction of three-dimensional (3D) solid drawings and rendering them. The two fi nal chapters describe the Internet tools of AutoCAD 2009 and the place of AutoCAD in the design process. The book fi nishes with three appendices: printing and plotting; a list of tools with their abbreviations; and a list of some of the set variables upon which AutoCAD 2009 is based.

AutoCAD 2009 is very complex computer-aided design (CAD) software package. A book of this size cannot possibly cover the complexities of all the methods for constructing 2D and 3D drawings available when working with AutoCAD 2009. However, it is hoped that by the time the reader has worked through the contents of the book, he/she will be suffi ciently skilled in methods of producing drawing with the software to be able to go on to more advanced constructions with its use and will have gained an interest in the more advanced possibilities available when using AutoCAD.
