Self-paced tutorials make it easy to learn the basics of engineering drawing using AutoCAD Release 14. "The AutoCAD Tutor for Engineering Graphics R14" takes readers from one-view engineering drawings to geometric constructions, multiview projections, 3D modeling, and solid modeling. Each tutorial follows traditional engineering drawing techniques and methods while teaching users how to utilize features and benefits of AutoCAD R14 to achieve professional results.

Designed for experienced AutoCAD R14 users who need to maximize their productivity, this guide focuses on R14's advanced functions and commands. The manuals modular chapters allow readers to quickly access the information needed. Then, using the AutoCAD's R14 exercise drawing fields on the accompanying CD-ROM, readers can apply what they've learned to practical real-world design problems.

One of the most important tools in engineering and construction is the ability to produce and manipulate 3D figures. Modelling with AutoCAD 2000, written by a leading authority in the field takes you step-by-step through the key techniques. Topics covered in this textbook include developments in wire-frame models, surface models and solid models, and introduces the concept of multiple viewports. In addition, Modelling with AutoCAD 2000 introduces the reader to rendering and shows how such techniques can be used to produce professional drawings of high quality. Simplifies the difficult topic of modelling and introduces renderingFrom the market-leading and respected Bob McFarlane Maximises the potential of Release 2000 and covers 3 different types of model: wire frame, surface and solid

Cheng's newest self-paced AutoCAD® tutorial provides a practical step-by-step introduction to 3D computer-aided design drawing using AutoCAD® Release 14. The latest version of AUTOCAD®, RELEASE 14 is exclusively Windows-based (versus DOS/Windows), and has increased 3D capability. Cheng's guide reflects these latest changes, and also includes instruction on creating 3D solid objects. The book presents AutoCAD® commands in the context of hands-on exercises that guide first-time users through entity creation, editing, and manipulation; creation of engineering drawings; preparation, dimensioning, and plotting of hard-copy documents. This book starts from basic - then gradually advances to more complicated - 3D components, using self-paced mini-projects in its illustration. A summary of all AutoCAD® commands used in the exercises is found in the last chapter, making this book a useful working reference for professional engineers and designers.
