Summary

Self-paced tutorials take readers all the way from one-view engineering drawings to geometric constructions, multi-view projections, section and auxiliary views, 3D solid modeling, and photorealistic rendering. Tutorials utilize a step-by-step approach, following traditional engineering drawing techniques and methods while teaching users how to make the most of AutoCADr 2005 to achieve professional results. The key new features and functions in AutoCAD 2005 are included in a separate Addendum. Topics range from new drawing productivity enhancements to navigating with the new Layer Properties Manager dialog box, creating and using tables, creating fields or "autotext", Tool Palette enhancements, and managing projects using the Sheet Manager.
