In Detail
The primary goal of AutoCAD 2011 Tutorial - First Level: 2D
Fundamentals is to introduce the aspects of Computer Aided Design
and Drafting (CADD).
This text is intended to be used as a training guide for students
and professionals. This text covers AutoCAD 2011 and the lessons
proceed in a pedagogical fashion to guide you from constructing
basic shapes to making multiview drawings. The lessons are further
reinforced by the video presentations found on the enclosed
multimedia DVD.
This textbook contains a series of eleven tutorial style lessons
designed to introduce beginning CAD users to AutoCAD 2011. It takes
a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important 2D CAD
techniques and concepts. This text is also helpful to AutoCAD users
upgrading from a previous release of the software. The new
improvements and key enhancements of the software are incorporated
into the lessons. The 2D-CAD techniques and concepts discussed in
this text are also designed to serve as the foundation to the more
advanced parametric feature-based CAD packages such as Autodesk
Inventor.
The basic premise of this book is that the more designs you
create using AutoCAD 2011, the better you learn the software. With
this in mind, each lesson introduces a new set of commands and
concepts, building on previous lessons. This book is intended to
help readers establish a good basis for exploring and growing in the
exciting field of Computer Aided Engineering.
