With an emphasis on creating production drawings, this how-to book orients readers to the basics of mechanical drafting as it guides them to proficiency in using mission-critical AutoCAD 2002 features and functions. Following a fast-paced introduction to drawing and editing basic two-dimensional shapes, users will delve into the theory and procedures needed to draw professional-quality orthographic projections, auxiliary views, and sections. Later chapters introduce topics such as placing text, dimensions, and tolerances on drawings. Discussion of ways to speed creation of similar production drawings using DesignCenter, plus use of the internet to share AutoCAD 2002 drawing files between firms, is also included to ensure development of the skills required to communicate effectively and efficiently in the engineering world. Booknews A how-to guide designed to help AutoCAD (a computer-aided drawing program) users master the 2D drawing commands used on most mechanical-related drawings. Mechanical examples are provided throughout so that readers can correlate commands to specific skills required of engineers and drafters. Although the material is geared towards newer versions of AutoCAD, some of the material remains relevant to older versions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
