Summary

AutoCAD 2009 for Architects and Interior Designersis an exercise manual for architectural, interior design, and building trades students who need a simple, easy-to-understand, step-by-step manual to learn AutoCAD 2D.

A set of larger drawings are included with the text so students can refer to them as they work through the step-by-step tutorials. Commands are covered only as they are required to progress with the work and as needed to complete the objectives in the Exercises manual drawings. Icons, diagrams, progress drawings, and visuals make the book easy for students to learn from.Architects and Interior Designers
