AutoCAD 2000 Instructor is intended for instructor-lead instruction and self-instruction in AutoCAD software. AutoCAD is the market leader for all CAD software and is used by nearly two million students and professionals in architecture, engineering, construction, and design. Developed from teaching techniques used in an authorized AutoCAD Training Center and in instruction for engineering colleges, AutoCAD 2000 Instructor covers all features and capabilities of AutoCAD. The text is command-oriented so chapters are centered around groups of related commands. This feature makes the text very effective as a reference text. The chapters are structured in a practical/pedagogical sequence beginning with instruction in general procedures for using the computer interface, setting up and creating drawings, and then progressing to advanced features such as dimensioning, special drawing applications and AutoCAD features, three-dimensional modeling and rendering, and software customization.

Written by the experts who created the software, Learning AutoCAD features discussions and hands-on exercises that teach readers fundamental AutoCAD principles and functionality, including 2D drawing, design, drafting, drawing organization, annotations, dimensioning, hatching, and more. The book also serves as crucial AutoCAD Certification preparation. The book opens with an exploration of the interface and explains basic drawing functionality and object manipulation before showing how to best organize and edit drawings with layers, linetypes, and more. Readers then learn how to work with layouts, dimensions, and annotations before learning sophisticated hatch techniques using gradients, fills, and patterns. Finally, readers learn best-practices techniques for working with such drawing objects as splines and polylines as well as using drawing templates and getting great results when printing and exporting. The thorough resource, which is effective for self-paced learning as well as instructor-l

Most schools using Autodesk software first introduce students to the 2D features of AutoCAD and then go on to its 3D Capabilities. Inventor is usually reserved for the second or third course or for a solid modeling course. However, another possibility is to introduce students first to solid modeling using Inventor and then to introduce AutoCAD as a 2D product. Students learn to create solid models using Inventor and then learn how to create working drawings of their 3D models using AutoCAD. This approach provides students with a strong understanding of the process used to create models and drawing in the industry. This book contains a series of tutorial style lessons designed to introduce Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, solid modeling, and parametric modeling. It uses a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the import parametric modeling techniques and concepts. The lessons guide the user from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent mechanical designs, creating multi-view drawings and assembly models. Introduction to Inventor/AutoCAD 2010 consists of ten chapters from Parametric Modeling using Inventor 2010 and six chapters from AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial-First Level: 2D Fundamentals. This book is available only as a three hole punch book for use in a spiral binder. This book is used by Ohio State in their freshman engineering program. Table of Contents 1.
