Instant AutoCAD:
Architectural Residential Drawing
This is the next book in the Instant AutoCAD series and continues with the tradition of delivering technical information in a quick and easy format. With integrated Hands-On sessions to illustrate basic concepts and lots of questions, tests, and exercises, it will offer a look at architectural residential drawing using AutoCAD, from floor plans to 3D modeling.
This textbook was written using AutoCAD 2000i, but will work just as well using AutoCAD 2000 or AutoCAD LT 2000 or 2000i. The differences are minimal in regard to this book. The exception is 3D Modeling in Chapter 8. AutoCAD LT does not support some of these advanced features.
The text contains a number of features that make the basic ideas more concrete and clear. These include:
- a list of Key Concepts at the start of each Chapter
- an In a Nutshell conclusion of each chapter
- brief Hands-On labs throughout each chapter to reinforce newly learned concepts.
- a Testing . . . testing . . .1, 2, 3 section of fill-in-the-blank, true-false, multiple choice, and matching questions at the end of each chapter.
- a What? question section at the end of each chapter
- a Let's Get Busy list of related assignments at each chapter end
- a number of Tip boxes to introduce important ideas
- font enlargement of key ideas
- hundreds of drawings, menus, and icons to add clarity
- a teachers' supplement with Testing . . . testing . . . 1, 2, 3, answers
An Integrated CD-ROM Learning Assistant is included with this text:
- hands-on practice for concepts presented in the text
- models for the practice applications
"We're sure this is the start of a journey that will bring wider horizons, lucrative results, and the pleasure that comes with mastery of a new
tool.," and its association to new ideas.
