Architectural Drafting Assignments Using AutoCAD®

Architectural Drafting Assignments Using AutoCAD contains a series of 17 self instructional, self building assignments that are designed to challenge students and enable them to master selected AutoCAD commands, formats and operations that are necessary to draw and plot typical two-dimensional commercial and residential architectural drawings. The main purpose of this text isn’t just to teach AutoCAD; it is also intended to promote active learning as well as constructive exchanges between students.

The Students will benefit from the hands-on, practical approaches and learn utilizing a step-by-step method, which will expand their skills through each new exercise found within the text. An excellent reference for the classroom, the assignments in the text are designed to span over one semester of work and are grouped into two different sections. The first section introduces the range of basic two-dimensional commands needed to build a simple furnished floor plan and exterior elevation. The second section will present more complex plan views and exterior elevations.

Features:

• Time-tested assignments that are suitable for standalone use as well as specific classroom demonstrations and lectures that can supplement to a variety of AutoCAD tutorials.
• Students can easily progress over the course of one semester by beginning with no AutoCAD knowledge and ending with the technical skills needed to perform entry-level AutoCAD drawings.
• Assignments build on one another in order to create a coherent, logical sequence so that commands are introduced learned and then applied through meaningful context.
• Provides a solid base for learning two-dimensional skills without overwhelming novices with a wealth of information.
• Can be used generically with most AutoCAD releases.
