Overview

Unlike many AutoCAD competitors, this book covers only the basics and uses “mixed units”-inches, meters, feet, kilometers, etc., to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Use the DVD to set up drawing exercises and projects, see all of the book’s figures in color, and draw with a trial version of AutoCAD 2012. AutoCAD 2012 Beginning and Intermediate includes 50 exercises or “mini-workshops,” that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation of two full projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2012.

BRIEF TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1: AutoCAD 2012 Basics. 2: Precise Drafting in AutoCAD 2012. 3: Modifying Commands. 4: Construction Commands. 5: Layers and Inquiry Commands. 6: Blocks and Hatch. 7: Text and Tables. 8: Dimensioning. 9: Plotting. 10: Projects.

From the Publisher

With the assistance of computers, the full power of an architect's potential can be realized. "AutoCAD 2012: Beginning & Intermediate" is an updated and revised guide to the latest in Computer Assisted Drafting from M. Hamad and Mercury books as they explain everything one needs to know to make the most of this process, and jumping from the blueprints to the computer screen for even experienced drafters. Included is a DVD with even more resources and lessons for those who want a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the process. "AutoCAD 2012" is a solid and core addition to any architecture and drafting collection, enthusiastically recommended. Also from M. Hamad and Mercury Books is "AutoCad 2012: 3D Modeling" (9781936420216, $41.95) expanding on the subject with a focus on creating detailed 3D models of one's project.
