Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in Interior Design, Space Planning, Computer-Aided Design, Computer Graphics and Architectural Graphics.
This manual teaches users how to make architectural drawings using a computer and the AutoCAD 2005 program. This easy-to-understand book employs the prompt-response format in beginning exercises of all chapters to allow users to learn commands in a drawing situation. The text then provides exercises so users can apply the commands on their own. New features of AutoCAD Release 2005 are described-e.g.: easy to use Table command for quickly creating professional quality tables such as parts lists, door and window schedules, Sheet Sets command for organizing drawings into sets with dynamic contents pages and other helpful features, redesigned AutoCAD Design Center, modeless dialog boxes, gradient hatch patterns for rendering isometric and two-dimensional drawings, and new plot/print dialog box for 2D and 3D printing and plotting.
