Description
AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies is the perfect guide for breaking down the complexities of AutoCAD into bite-size, easy-to-understand pieces. While AutoCAD is the leading software tool for creating technical and architectural drawings, mastering it can be challenging. This book provides an excellent way to simplify the learning process.
Once you get accustomed to using AutoCAD and its slightly less feature-rich cousin, AutoCAD LT, you'll discover its many advantages:
- Create precision to 14 significant digits
- Re-use portions of your drawings by copying and pasting
- Draw things full size and print your drawings in any scale
- Produce drawings that are easier to read when reduced
- Electronically share and distribute drawings
- Design in 2D or 3D
The key to mastering these advantages is to expedite the learning process. That's where AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies becomes especially useful. With ten easy-to-follow minibooks covering every aspect of AutoCAD, including the latest features of AutoCAD 2007, you'll quickly find the information you need.
Here's what you can expect to learn:
- AutoCAD basics, such as setting up drawings, navigating the interface, and using all the tools
- Drawing and modifying objects in 2D and annotating your drawings
- 3D modelling and viewing, working with solids and surfaces, and rendering
- Understanding the differences between AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD, and determining which program suits your needs
- Advanced drafting skills, including organizing drawings, working with blocks, and using AutoCAD utilities
- Setting up your drawings for plotting to paper and publishing
- Sharing your drawings online for collaboration
- Customising and programming AutoCAD to tailor it to your preferences
In true For Dummies style, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies offers plain-English explanations and step-by-step directions. Written by a pair of AutoDesk Authorized Authors, this guide will help foster a productive and efficient relationship with AutoCAD.
