Features: AutoCAD 2006 Chinese Edition: Basic Architecture Design is primarily written for beginners in CAD (Computer-Aided Design). In this book, readers will learn all the fundamental operations of AutoCAD. To build a solid foundation, we introduce basic concepts of graphics when explaining all the important commands of AutoCAD. This is one of the three main features of the book. The second feature is integrating professional knowledge into the background explanations of command functions. Whether it’s architectural drawing conventions or geometric graphics, though important, they can be relatively dry and tedious topics. To address this, we have included an interesting and professional "paper model" making practice in the last chapter to correspond with the geometric graphics theory discussed in Chapter 8, allowing readers to understand that graphics theory is not an irrelevant learning topic—it often plays a pivotal role in cultivating design skills. This is the third feature of the book!
This is a professional AutoCAD book that balances theory and practice, with complete content. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all the example source files for the book. The book consists of 16 chapters, introducing the powerful functions and operational techniques of AutoCAD. It starts with the history of AutoCAD, as well as its software, hardware configurations, and related peripherals, then covers basic operations, system settings, template file settings, various drawing and editing command usages, fundamental graphics theory, architectural drawing conventions, layer settings and operations, block graphics creation and usage, professional architectural dimensioning functions, the application of "Express" tools, and finally, a special section on paper model making practice, which complements the graphics theory.
This book is suitable for all design and drafting professionals in the fields of architecture and related industries, as well as the best textbook for undergraduate architecture or related majors.
