About this title

Synopsis

The main purpose of this book is to provide civil engineering students with a clear presentation of the theory of engineering graphics and the use of AutoCAD 2014. Each chapter starts with the chapter objectives followed by the introduction. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain step-by-step instructions to carry out the AutoCAD commands. The drawings shown in this book are created using AutoCAD 2014 and Paint software.

Several improvements are made to the fifth edition. The most important improvement is the usage of the ribbon interface. The major contents of the book are based on the ribbon interface. A new chapter titled as AutoCAD 2014 Classics Interface is created to introduce the classic interface.The index is improved. The Chapter Suggested In-Class Activities provides in-class activities (or ICA). For some of the initial ICAs, it explains the drawing with the help of step-by-step instructions. Also, new problems are added to the homework chapter. Furthermore, the contents and the drawings of every chapter are improved.

Each chapter starts with the chapter objectives followed by the introduction. The bulleted objectives provide a general overview of the material covered. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain detailed step-by-step instruction with graphical illustrations to carry out the AutoCAD commands.
