AutoCAD 2004: A Building Approach, Book 3--From Concept to Application - Softcover
The final book in a three-book series, AutoCAD 2004: A Building Approach, Book 3 explains to readers how to make and use their own personal drawing template complete with title block, general notes, and bill of materials. Using a modularized approach that groups related commands and operations together, this book focuses on teaching the most efficient method of operation that enables the user to quickly become a productive CAD operator. Equipping readers with the practical skills required to succeed in this field, the book also contains real-world application exercises at each module's conclusion and a final project at the book's end that a new CAD operator might be required to do in an actual employment situation. The book covers blocks and attributes, other linetypes, and externally referenced drawings, while focusing on using toolbars to access most of the drawing and editing tools. For people with a career or desire to pursue a career in engineering or computers.

About the Author:
The purpose of this book and its companions, AutoCAD® 2004 A Building Approach, Book 1: Learning the Basics and AutoCAD® 2004: A Building Approach, Book 2: Taking Command, is to teach the fundamentals of AutoCAD® 2004 so you can easily make simple, professional engineering drawings. These books have been updated from the AutoCAD® 2002: A Building Approach series to include both the new and revised features found in AutoCAD® 2004.
This book uses the following features to help you build the basic foundation needed to become a successful CAD operator.
- Provides a true step-by-step approach that guides you through the learning process in a friendly and effective way
- Teaches you one efficient method, instead of overwhelming you with multiple ways to do the same thing, so you can quickly become a productive CAD operator
- Takes you from opening the AutoCAD® program for the first time to creating your own personal AutoCAD® template and using it to generate professional engineering drawings
- Teaches you to rise the basic drawing, editing, and text tools in an integrated approach that combines learning-related operations and commands together to make them easier to remember
- Uses practical, real-world assignments in which you apply the concepts you learned to projects that new CAD operators can expect to see in their jobs
Terry Metz combines 21 years of practical engineering experience (working as a drafter, application specialist, sales engineer, and engineering consultant) with 14 years of current teaching experience (responsible for both the AutoCAD® and mechanical engineering programs at a two-year technical college) to provide a sound educational approach to learning AutoCAD®.
