AutoCAD and Its Applications Advanced 2011 builds upon the fundamental skills and techniques taught in AutoCAD and Its Applications Basics 2011. The Advanced text provides thorough instruction in 3D modeling, visualization, and AutoCAD customization. It also introduces students to programming AutoCAD. The teaching package includes more than 100 step-by-step exercises that provide hands-on reinforcement of topics covered in the text. The exercises are identified by specific references in the text and are delivered in the form of a Student Companion Web site. The electronic exercises permit the student to refer to the steps on-screen while working in AutoCAD. Materials and rendering chapters in full color.
Chapter tests, available both in the book and on the Student Companion Web Site, serve to review commands and key AutoCAD concepts.
Many modeling and customizing problems supplement each chapter. Problems are presented as 3D illustrations, actual plotted drawings, and engineering sketches.
