DESCRIPTION:
Straightforward explanations focus on what is relevant to actual drawing procedures, and illustrations show exactly what to expect on the computer screen. Discovering AutoCAD 2013presents a hands-on, activity-based approach to the use of AutoCAD as a drafting tool–complete with techniques, tips, shortcuts, and insights that improve efficiency. Topics and tasks are carefully grouped to lead students logically through the AutoCAD command set, with the level of difficulty increasing steadily as skills are acquired through experience and practice. This edition features Web-based exercises, projects, and new test questions for each chapter.
His 15 years of business experience and 20 years of teaching experience are supported by degrees in education and computer science. Paul has taught AutoCAD at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell and Mt. Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts. He has developed a program, Computer Aided Design for Professionals that is highly regarded and has been an ongoing success for the past 15 years.Mark Dix began working with AutoCAD in 1985 as a p
helpful overall There seem to be a few measuring mistakes, but the explanations and step by step instructions were very helpful. It would be helpful if the chapter test answers were listed in the back of the book. Also, I was viewing this on a samsung tablet and the illustrations were not clear.. "Not clear enough." according to Augustinaris. Update: I'm lowering my review down from Not clear enough. Update: I'm lowering my review down from 3 stars to 1 star for the following reasons.When I rely on this book to do my coursework, it ends up taking much longer than it should, along with a lot of guessing, because the majority(not just a lot, but most) of the drawings have very noticeable inaccuracies. On several of the drawing which require accurate dimensions to complete, the given information is not reliable. For example, just turning to a random drawing I've done in the past, Drawing 9-7, They are telling me a 2 foot hour tick will fit withing a 2 foot clock. stars to 1 star for the following reasons.When I rely on this book to do my coursework, it ends up taking much longer than it should, along with a lot of guessing, because the majority(not just a lot, but most) of the drawings have very noticeable inaccuracies.

Not impressed SteelSlicer This was the required text for a college level class. The book was difficult to use, I have AutoCAD experience going back 20 years. I used it more for figuring out geometry for machining rather than creating drawings, but I have a decent working knowledge. At the end of each chapter, there are drawings that you have to redo. For some reason, the drawings are not turned to utilize the whole page, which makes the dimension and notes tiny and hard to see. I'm over 60, and was going to write it off to "old eyes", but many other people in the class complained about th
