Preface Introduction to AutoCAD 2011 2D and 3D Design:
The purpose of writing this book is to produce a text suitable for students in Further and/or Higher Education who are required to learn how to use the computer-aided design (CAD) software package AutoCAD® 2011. Students taking examinations based on CAD will find the contents of the book of great assistance. The book is also suitable for those in industry wishing to learn how to construct technical drawings with the aid of AutoCAD 2011 and those who, having used previous releases of AutoCAD, wish to update their skills to AutoCAD 2011.
The chapters in Part 1 – 2D Design, dealing with two-dimensional (2D) drawing, will also be suitable for those wishing to learn how to use AutoCAD LT 2011, the 2D version of this latest release of AutoCAD. Many readers using previous releases of AutoCAD will find the book’s contents largely suitable for use with those versions, although AutoCAD 2011 has many enhancements over previous releases (some of which are mentioned in Chapter 21).
The contents of the book are basically a graded course of work, consisting of chapters giving explanations and examples of methods of constructions, followed by exercises which allow the reader to practise what has been learned in each chapter. The first 11 chapters are concerned with constructing technical drawing in 2D. These are followed by chapters detailing the construction of 3D solid drawings and rendering them.
The final two chapters describe the Internet tools of AutoCAD 2011 and the place of AutoCAD in the design process. The book finishes with two appendices – a list of tools with their abbreviations and a list of some of the set variables upon which AutoCAD 2011 is based.
AutoCAD 2011 is very complex CAD software package. A book of this size cannot possibly cover the complexities of all the methods for constructing 2D and 3D drawings available when working with AutoCAD 2011. However, it is hoped that by the time the reader has worked through
the contents of the book, he/she will be sufficiently skilled with methods of producing drawing with the software to be able to go on to more advanced constructions with its use and will have gained an interest in the more advanced possibilities available when using AutoCAD.
