AutoCAD 2010 Tutor for Engineering Graphics

AutoCAD 2010 Tutor for Engineering Graphics is a classic reference work that features self-paced tutorials that will teach students how to take full advantage of the 2010 AutoCAD software package. The step by step design problems and exercises will lead students from simple one view engineering drawings through geometric instructions, auxiliary views, multiview projections and section views. This tutorial workbook also provides coverage of 3-D solid modeling and photorealistic rendering.

Features:

• Unique exercises that will encourage all readers to master the use of AutoCAD commands before going to other topics discussed in the book.
• Gives users realistic engineering drawing problems as well as command specific exercises to support learning within the visual AutoCAD user interface.
• Includes accompanying CD with files that will allow users to execute problems, tutorials and exercises in order to obtain immediate feedback on their progress while using AutoCAD.

New To This Edition:

• In the chapter questions on student resource CD rather than within the text.
• Discussion of general drafting concepts has also been moved to the student resource CD.
• New chapter titles to streamline the text with previously separated chapters.
• Chapters dedicated to topics such as geometric and dimensional relationships
• Chapter changes to reflect the AutoCAD 2010 interface.
