Features: AutoCAD is a widely used engineering drawing software. This book introduces the use of AutoCAD 2004 in a step-by-step manner, from basic to advanced, and reinforces the learned content through numerous experiments. The book strives to comprehensively cover fundamental commands while expanding readers' thinking and skills. The main content of this book includes: basic drawing commands, basic editing commands, pattern filling, text and dimension, blocks, surfaces and 3D solids, shading and rendering, and 23 experiments. The writing of the book is based on the authors' years of teaching and engineering drawing experience, providing detailed explanations of the operation techniques of most commands. This book can be used as a textbook for relevant majors in various universities, colleges, and training classes, or for self-study and reference.
Currently, many introductory and advanced computer textbooks on AutoCAD focus solely on commands. This book takes into account the practical needs of teaching and self-study, and specifically includes an experimental section at the end to reinforce and flexibly apply the various commands learned. The arrangement and content of the experiments are carefully designed to maintain an appropriate balance and sequence of basic commands, architectural plans, mechanical drawings, and 3D graphics, fully reflecting the step-by-step and hands-on training approach.
All the authors of this book are frontline teachers and also experienced engineers who have drawn a large number of engineering graphics. The drawing environment in the book uses the metric system, and all illustrative graphics are dimensionless. The values of dimensioned dimensions are all in metric units. Sub-level associations between menus are separated by "l".
