Overview
Without a doubt, AutoCAD computer-aided design software is as indispensable a tool for today's architects and engineers as a drafting table, straight edge, and compass were for yesterday's architects and engineers. Of course, though far more powerful, AutoCAD is also dauntingly complex -- and therefore ripe for For Dummies® treatment.In AutoCAD Release 14 For Dummies, author and AutoCAD ace Bud Smith provides you with the essential, practical reference you need to make sure that you spend time using AutoCAD rather than waste time trying to figure out how to use it. With AutoCAD Release 14 For Dummies, you discover how to
- Install and configure AutoCAD so that it fits your work style
- Use blocks and external references to save time and avoid mistakes
- Take advantage of all the features new with Release 14 -- including putting your drawings on the World Wide Web, incorporating ActiveX controls, creating VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language), and embedding hyperlinks within your AutoCAD drawing
- Pan and zoom smoothly
- Place scanned images, including blueprints and photos, in your AutoCAD drawings
