Residential Design Using AutoCAD 2013 is an introductory level tutorial which uses residential design exercises as the means to teach you AutoCAD 2013. Each book comes with a DVD containing numerous video presentations in which the author shows and explains the many tools and techniques used in AutoCAD 2013. After completing this book you will have a well-rounded knowledge of Computer Aided Drafting that can be used in the industry and the satisfaction of having completed a set of residential drawings. This textbook starts with an optional section that covers basic hand sketching techniques and concepts intended to increase your ability to sketch design ideas by hand and to think three-dimensionally. The book then proceeds with a basic introduction to AutoCAD 2013. The first three chapters are intended to get you familiar with the user interface and many of the common menus and tools. Throughout the rest of the book you will design a residence through to its completion. Using step-by-step tutorial lessons, the residential project is followed through to create elevations, sections, details, etc. Throughout the project, new AutoCAD commands are covered at the appropriate time. Focus is placed on the most essential parts of a command rather than an exhaustive review of every sub-feature of a particular command. The Appendix contains a bonus section covering the fundamental principles of engineering graphics that relate to architecture.

The main purpose of this book is to provide civil engineering students with a clear presentation of the theory of engineering graphics and the use of AutoCAD 2010. Each chapter starts with the chapter objectives followed by the introduction. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain step-by-step instructions to carry out the AutoCAD commands. The drawings shown in this book are created using AutoCAD 2010 and Paint software. This edition includes several notable improvements. Three new chapters have been added and one of the chapters from the 2008 edition has been partitioned into two chapters. The most important addition is chapter 18 entitled: Suggested Lab. This chapter provides in-class activities (or labs). This book has bee categorized and ordered into seven parts: Introduction to AutoCAD 2010 Use of AutoCAD in land survey data plotting The use of AutoCAD in hydrology Transportation engineering and AutoCAD AutoCAD and architecture technology Introduction to working drawing Suggested drawing problems

Unlike many AutoCAD competitors, this book covers all of the basics of Level 1 and Level 2 AutoCAD concepts. It uses mixed units e.g., inches, meters, feet, kilometers, etc., to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Use the DVD to set up all the drawing lessons and projects in the text, see all of the book's figures in color, and draw with a trial version of AutoCAD 2010. This comprehensive edition includes 94 workshops, that complete small projects –from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation of a real life project from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2010. Key features of new comprehensive edition: use all advanced 2D drafting commands; learn the most important advanced techniques; create Dynamic Blocks; create, Edit, Extract & Block Attributes; use External Reference for team collaboration; learn all about Sheet Sets; learn all about CAD Standards checking; utilize the more advanced layer functions; use Autodesk Design Review for Markups; use the Markup Set Manager.
