plenty for a beginner
| Customer Rating: | Is there anything McFarland has left out about AutoCad 2009? Apparently not, at least for the newbie. As the cover prominently says, no experience needed. The book comprehensively covers what the novice might want. Explaining in detailed steps such basics as setting up a drawing, laying out walls of a building, and the use of layers. The latter is significant. For layering lets you decompose your design process into manageable parts. If you have perhaps used Adobe's Photoshop and its layering, then the idea transfers over readily.
The chapters also end in suggestions for exercises, so that you can integrate each chapter's lessons into your understanding. The exercises are not that extensive, so you may have to push yourself into devising more problems if you feel the need.
I should add that the text applies AutoCad to the designing of a building. Other important usages include designing consumer products. But the book stays on topic with architecture.
By the way, for non-US readers, the examples in the book all use imperial measurements. But you can trivially change the Autocad settings to use metric. |
