AutoCAD 2010

This textbook, written by experienced authors and educators, provides a clear introduction to the latest and in many ways revolutionary version of AutoCAD 2010, based on the highly successful previous editions, which have already taught thousands of students and those interested in computer-aided design how to use AutoCAD. The content of the textbook is divided into 12 separate chapters, supplemented by hundreds of illustrative pictures. The individual chapters will systematically guide you through the use of AutoCAD from the basics to its deployment in the infrastructure of PLM systems. Explanation of the issues is designed according to the proven methodology used in teaching CAD applications in our and foreign schools with a significant share of independent exercises and team projects.

With the book, among other things, you can easily handle: - Properly operate AutoCAD 2010 and earlier versions
- Accurately draw and edit any object in 2D
- Work with text, hatching, blocks and external references
- Model spatially and create 3D objects and visualizations
- Prepare drawings for printing on a large format or conventional printer

The proven concept makes this book an essential reference for all high school and college students learning to work with AutoCAD. It is also the ideal guide for anyone upgrading to AutoCAD 2010 from older versions.
