Book Description
AutoCAD is the leading software tool for creating technical and architectural drawings, but it definitely doesn't lead in the "easy to master" category. That's why there's AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies—the perfect way to break a complex topic into bite-size, easy-to-understand pieces.
Once you get the hang of using AutoCAD and its slightly less feature-rich cousin, AutoCAD LT, you discover that it offers wonderful advantages. AutoCAD allows you to
Create precision to 14 significant digits
Re-use portions of your drawings by copying and pasting
Draw things full size and print your drawings in any scale
Produce drawings that are easier to read when reduced
Electronically share and distribute drawings
Design in 2D or 3D
So obviously, the trick is to speed up that "getting the hang of it" process. That's where AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies comes in especially handy. Ten easy-to-follow minibooks cover every aspect of AutoCAD, including the latest features of AutoCAD 2007, so you can find just what you need to know quickly and easily. You'll get the scoop on
AutoCAD basics, such as setting up drawings, finding your way around the interface, and using all the tools
Drawing and modifying objects in 2D and annotating your drawings
3D modeling and viewing, working with solids and surfaces, and rendering
Understanding how AutoCAD LT differs from AutoCAD and deciding which program you need
