Features: AutoCAD is currently the most widely used computer drawing software domestically and internationally. Its rich drawing functions, powerful editing capabilities, and user-friendly interface are deeply favored by a broad user base. Especially, the various programming tools and interfaces of the software provide convenient conditions for users to engage in secondary development. AutoCAD 2002 enhances network performance, offering high-efficiency tools such as XML design, layer conversion, block attribute management, and online publishing, making it more powerful, practical, and easier to operate. The book is divided into 14 chapters: Chapters 1 and 2 provide an introduction to AutoCAD 2002, covering its performance, installation, configuration, and basic usage knowledge. Chapters 3 through 11 introduce the drawing-related content of AutoCAD 2002, including basic drawing commands, graphic editing commands, display control commands, dimensioning, text annotations, blocks, 3D modeling, and image processing. Chapter 12 briefly introduces secondary development techniques using AutoCAD 2002 as the platform. Finally, Chapters 13 and 14 cover other functions of AutoCAD 2002 and provide several examples. This allows users, after mastering the basic drawing methods of AutoCAD, to learn the general methods and techniques for creating engineering drawings, especially for large-scale engineering drawings. The book provides an in-depth yet accessible discussion of AutoCAD 2002 usage, making it suitable for beginners as well as those who have already gained entry-level proficiency to improve their drawing skills.
