This book contains text suitable for those in further and/or higher Education who are required to learn how to use the CAD. Students taking examinations in computer-aided design will find the contents of the book of great assistance. The book is also suitable for those in industry who wish to learn how to construct technical drawings with the aid of AutoCAD 2008 and those who, having used previous releases of AutoCAD, wish to update their skills in the use of AutoCAD.
The contents of the book are basically an upgraded course of work for many readers using AutoCAD 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007, consisting of chapters giving explanations and examples of methods of constructions, followed by exercises which allow the reader to practice what has been learned in each chapter. The first 12 chapters are concerned with constructing technical drawings in 2D. These are followed by chapters detailing the construction of three-dimensional (3D) solid drawings and rendering. The two final chapters describe the Internet tools of AutoCAD 2008 and the place of AutoCAD in the design process. The book finishes with three appendices: printing and plotting; a list of tools with their abbreviations; a list of some of the set variables upon which AutoCAD 2008 is based.
