Features: This book is written to meet the needs of engineering university students in the 21st century to master one of the three major drawing skills—computer-aided design (CAD). The book is divided into 23 chapters, introducing the main methods of using computers to draw 2D plane figures and construct 3D models. The main content includes: simple drawing, basic drawing, complex drawing commands and methods, techniques; blocks; layers; dimensioning; model space and paper space; printing output; basic knowledge of 3D modeling; solid modeling, etc. The arrangement of chapters follows the learning steps and lecture order, combining theory with practice. Teachers and students can choose to study the first few chapters based on the number of class hours. This book can be used as a textbook for computer-aided design courses in universities, colleges, and vocational and technical schools, or as a reference book for professionals engaged in computer-aided design.
