Introduction to AutoCAD 2020 addresses advances in technology and introduces students to 2-dimensional drawing skills and commands using the 2020 release of AutoCAD. Straightforward explanations focus on actual drawing procedures, and illustrations show what to expect on the computer screen. It continuously builds on concepts covered in previous chapters, contains exercises combined with in-text notes, and offers examples that provide the “how and why” of AutoCAD fundamentals. Projects are included at the end of each chapter and provide hands-on experience creating various types of mechanical, architectural, civil, and electrical drawings. This text is appropriate for introductory and intermediate AutoCAD courses.
We live in a digital world where the trend in technology is to duplicate reality as much as possible. As time goes on, more and more industries and fields require the use of AutoCAD drafting and design software. AutoCAD has long been, and will remain, the industry standard for generating top-of-the-line CAD drawings in the least amount of time possible.
In this book, readers will find an interesting combination of theory and many complex projects and exercises, as well as clear and descriptive illustrations. Real design problems starting from scratch will be solved throughout the projects. In addition, many other short exercise sections are included to ensure full comprehension of the commands.
- Introduces AutoCAD, drafting skills, editing techniques, working with complex objects, annotating drawings, outputting your work, advanced drawing and construction methods, and collaborating with others on the web.
- Pedagogy reinforces learning objectives throughout, with chapter objectives; key term definitions; command grids that concisely offer multiple ways of achieving task at hand; and discipline icons that identify the field of study throughout.
- “New” version icons highlight new software features quickly.
- Hands-on exercises appear throughout the text to reinforce learning, and end-of-chapter projects require students to demonstrate a full understanding of the concepts presented in the chapter.
This book can serve as a reference for designers, draftspersons, or anyone with a basic knowledge of technical drawing who wants to learn how to use the AutoCAD program to create his or her work. The projects and the exercise sections are designed to enhance and help the reader retain the content learned in each chapter.
You do not need to be an expert draftsperson to use this book, but you should have some drafting background. This book focuses more on using AutoCAD as a tool for creating 2D CAD drawings. Occasionally, industry standards are referenced as they relate to a topic. Unfortunately, it is impossible to address standards thoroughly because each industry and discipline is different. It is also assumed that you have some knowledge of computers and basic file management. Because some of the topics in the later chapters are rather technically advanced, having some computer background is helpful.
