Description
 
If you've ever worked on a complex architectural or engineering project, you already know what until now drafting software has failed to grasp—namely, that a complete set of plans can encompass hundreds of pages. With the release of AutoCAD 2005, you can finally combine multiple pages (and multiple drawings) in a single file. Big news when it comes to design and drafting workflows! Here to get you taking advantage of AutoCAD 2005's enhanced functionality fast is the original book on the topic—fine-tuned, focused, and thoroughly revised to help intermediate and advanced AutoCAD users just like yourself.

Author David Harrington starts with what matters most: a guided tour of all that's new in AutoCAD 2005—including the ability to convey markup and review information in a format even nondrafters can understand. He then goes on to cover every phase of the AutoCAD workflow. Throughout, the volume combines text, tutorials, and a CD packed with lesson files to take an in-depth approach to the most important AutoCAD tasks.

As an architect, a drafter/designer, or an engineer, you know that AutoCAD helps get work done efficiently, accurately, and quickly. But upgrading AutoCAD can create new challenges in your working environment as you learn about new features, deal with clients on older versions, and try to maximize your large software investment. Inside AutoCAD 2005 provides proven solutions to meet these challenges.

With Inside AutoCAD 2005, you learn how to:

  • Set up drawings and make use of layering systems.
  • Harness the power of blocks, block attributes, and xrefs.
  • Work with DesignCenter.
  • Annotate with text and mtext.
  • Get the most out of object-editing tools.
  • Design plots with the revolutionary new Plot paradigm.
  • Create and customize new Table objects and implement Fields technology.
  • Use the new Sheet Set Manager.
  • Build and use 3D models to expand your skill set.
Written by David J Harrington—a veteran AutoCAD consultant, user, and teacher—Inside AutoCAD 2005 takes a hands-on, in-depth approach to everything from the most common tasks and functions to advanced concepts. Chapter by chapter, step-by-step tutorials show you how to effectively use and apply AutoCAD 2005 to meet your needs.

The companion CD-ROM contains:

  • All the files you'll need to complete the exercises presented throughout the book.
  • Web links to useful resources.
