Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking the reader step by step through the features of AutoCAD, Alf Yarwood
provides a practical, structured course of work matched to the latest release of
this software. After introducing first principles and the creation of 2D
technical drawings, he goes on to demonstrate the construction of 3D solid and
surface model drawings and rendering in the second part. All the new features of
the 2008 software release are taken into account, in particular the new
workspace for 2D drafting, faster rendering, new rendering methods, more
materials, and improved lighting methods. The 2D chapters are also suitable for
those learning to how to use AutoCAD LT 2008.
Introduction to AutoCAD 2008 includes:
* Hundreds of full-colour drawings and screen shots illustrating the stages
within the design process
* Worked examples and exercises throughout the text, linking the use of AutoCAD
to real-world engineering practice
* Start of chapter learning outcome summaries and end of chapter revision notes
and exercises to check the readers' understanding Readers can also visit a free
companion website at books.elsevier.com/companions/XXXXXXXXXX, where they will
find answers to questions, worked solutions to exercises in the book, further
exercises and AutoCAD drawing files of stages and results of the exercises for
students to download and edit.
Suitable to all new users of AutoCAD, this book particularly applicable to
introductory level undergraduate courses and vocational courses in engineering
and construction. Further Education students in the UK will find this an ideal
textbook to cater for the relevant CAD units of BTEC National and BTEC Higher
NationalEngineering schemes from Edexcel, and the City & Guilds 4351 and 4353
qualifications.
