HARNESSING AUTOCADŽ 2010 continues in the
tradition of previous editions by providing the widest selection of
discipline-specific exercises and projects for learning how to use
today's leading desktop design and drawing software.
This widely used resource contains all the latest functionality,
including extensively illustrated examples of prompt-response
sequences, whereby certain commands prompt users for additional
information, such as coordinates or dimensions, to complete a
function.
The companion Exercise Manual has also been updated
and is included in its entirety on the
CD-Rom in the back of the book. The manual features
problems in complete project format for practicing concepts and
commands learned in a chapter or section as well as for testing
single concepts and commands.
Exercises span all of the popular disciplines in the
industry today including mechanical, architectural, civil,
electrical, and piping. This complete package contains a wealth of
information and practical knowledge for both the novice and the
advanced user.
