AutoCAD
2010 Tutor for
Engineering Graphics
by Alan J. Kalameja
AUTOCAD® 2010 TUTOR FOR ENGINEERING GRAPHICS
is a classic reference work featuring self-paced tutorials that lead
both students and engineering graphic professionals from simple
one-view engineering drawings to geometric constructions, multiview
projections, section and auxiliary views, 3D solid modeling, and
photorealistic rendering.
Tutorials utilize a step-by-step approach, following
traditional engineering drawing techniques and methods while
teaching users how to take full advantage of AutoCAD® 2010 to
achieve professional results.
Features:
-
END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS ON CD RATHER THAN IN THE
TEXT: End of chapter problems will appear on a CD
included with the book. End of chapter problems can be
printed or utilized from the CD.
-
DISCUSSION OF GENERAL DRAFTING CONCEPTS MOVED TO THE
CD: Chapters 8, 9, 10, and 20 feature non-AutoCAD®
command specific material. This information will be
moved from the chapters to the CD included with the book
-
NEW CHAPTER TITLES: Chapter 10 (Auxiliary Views)
has been merged with Chapter 8 (Shape Description/Multiview
Projection). The new chapter name will be Multiview
Projection and Auxiliary Views.
-
NEW TOPIC – CREATING PARAMETRIC DRAWINGS: Topics
will include the establishment of Geometric and
Dimensional Relationships. This information will be
included in the new Chapter 13, Creating Parametric
Drawings.
-
CHAPTER CHANGES: Changes to the AutoCAD 2010
Interface (Chapter 1).
- REVIEW: Contains unique "Try It!" exercises
that encourage readers to master the use of specific
AutoCAD commands before proceeding to subsequent topics.
