AutoSketch for Windows forms a basic course of work for those who want to ensure that they can construct 2-D drawings, ranging from the simple to the complex, using CAD software. It contains a large number of examples of engineering, building and general graphics drawings, together with a full description of the icon-driven and pull-down menu commands. It includes many screen shots which show the large number of dialogue boxes available in the software for the setting of drawing parameters, together with descriptions of how settings should be made. Each chapter contains drawing exercises which are graded to encourage the reader to practise and extend what has been learned.

AutoSketch for Windows will prove essential reading for secondary school students following the National Curriculum Technology syllabus, for further education students taking City and Guilds or BTEC courses in engineering and building, and for higher education students of first-year courses in engineering, building and architecture. It will also appeal to the general reader with an interest in CAD software.
