Each chapter explains the new concept or command and why it is important. The 3D material covers all aspects of AutoCAD solid modeling, including lights and rendering.1) Strips away complexities, both real and perceived and reduces AutoCAD to easy-to-understand basic concepts.2) Teaches only what is essential to operating AutoCAD first, thereby immediately building student confidence.3) All basic commands are documented step-by-step, meaning that what the student needs to type in and how AutoCAD responds is all spelled out in discrete and clear steps with screen shots added as needed.4) Using the author’s extensive multi-industry knowledge of what is important and widely used in practice versus what is not, the material is presented by immediately immersing the student in practical, critically essential knowledge, with no padding of text or filler material.5) All concepts are explained first in theory, and only then is AutoCAD introduced and the actual “button pushing discussed. Also introduced are advanced topics necessary to set up and manage complex drawings. They can also test their knowledge with end-of-chapter quizzes and drawing exercises. The book is organized into three parts: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. This is one of the key concepts in having students understand exactly what it is they are doing and why, before they do it.. Students can then work on, if not necessarily set up and manage, moderate to complex drawings. The goal he
