About the Book
A guide to learning how to use the full two-dimensional and three-dimensional drafting capabilities of AutoCAD, Release 13. The activity-based, task-oriented tutorial is organized around a series of AutoCAD drawing exercises that reflect the new features and flavour of Release 13. Topics covered include: multiline text; dimensioning, increased use of dialogue boxes; multilines; object grouping; new solid modelling commands; and rendering. Electronic solutions manuals (on disk) are available separately.
