Bethune (Boston University) introduces the fundamentals of AutoCAD using a tutorial approach, beginning with demonstrations of using the draw, object snap, modify, and dimensioning toolbars for 2D drawings. Three fairly long tutorials show how commands can be used together to create more complicated shapes. The fundamentals of 3D drawing are then covered in chapters on surface and solid modeling, rendering, viewpoints, and dimensioning. The final chapters show how to apply 3D capabilities to design problems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
