But unlike the massive technical drawing reference texts on the market, \u003cem\u003eTechnical Drawing 101\u003c\/em\u003e aims to present just the right mix of information and projects that can be reasonably covered by faculty, and assimilated by students, in one semester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth mechanical and architectural projects are introduced to capture the interest of more students and to offer a broader appeal. The authors have also created extensive video training (120 videos, 15 hours total) that is included with every copy of the book. In these videos, the authors start off by getting students comfortable with the user interface and demonstrating how to use many of AutoCAD's commands and features. The videos progress to more advanced topics where the authors walk students through completing several of the projects in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CAD portion of the text incorporates drafting theory whenever possible and covers the basics of drawing setup (units, limits, and layers), the tools of the Draw, Modify, and Dimension toolbars, and the fundamentals of 3D modeling. By focusing on the fundamental building blocks of CAD, \u003cem\u003eTechnical Drawing 101\u003c\/em\u003e provides a solid foundation for students going on to learn advanced CAD concepts and techniques (paper space, viewports, xrefs, annotative scaling, etc.) in intermediate CAD courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn recognition of the diverse career interests of our students, \u003cem\u003eTechnical Drawing 101\u003c\/em\u003e includes projects in which students create working drawings for a mechanical assembly as well as for an architectural project. We include architectural drawing because our experience has shown that many (if not most) first-semester drafting students are interested in careers in the architectural design field, and that a traditional technical drawing text, which focuses solely on mechanical drawing projects, holds little interest for these students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe multidisciplinary approach of this text and its supporting materials are intended to broaden the appeal of the curriculum and increase student interest and, it is hoped, future enrolments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607878811884,"sku":"9781630570415","price":137.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781630570415-technical-drawing-101-with-autocad-2017-including-unique-access-code.jpg?v=1778177168","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/technical-drawing-101-with-autocad-2017-including-unique-access-code-by-jana-schmidt-9781630570415","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
