Inside Autocad Lt For Windows 95

This book will teach readers the commands and techniques needed for effective CAD drawing while showing them how to take advantage of the new interface. -- Details the benefits of AutoCAD R13 compatibility -- Explains how to maximize Windows 95 functionality -- Includes exercises taken from real-world drawings and applications

Designed in the format of a text workbook, this work takes students through the systematic use of AutoCAD LT with emphasis on the proper use of drafting standards in several key disciplines. It is suitable for design drafting programs such as mechanical, architectural and electrical drafting, and graphic design programs, where AutoCAD LT is used.

This textbook is written specifically on AutoCAD LT for Windows 95 - the inexpensive software that serves as an alternative for learning to use the complete AutoCAD program - and its full range of 2D commands and the basic 3D drawing, viewing, and model/paper space presentation features. Hands-on in approach, the text describes the AutoCAD LT program in detail and uses a combination 'Prompt-Response' and 'On Your Own' format that allows students to learn AutoCAD at their own pace by actually drawing with it. For each feature, the text clearly explains what is presented on the screen and what students must do to make a particular drawing. It not only provides students with a thorough knowledge of the basic AutoCAD program, but prepares them to be immediately productive in any situation where 2D and basic 3D AutoCAD skills are required.* Prepares students for Levels I and II of the AutoCAD Certification Examination. * Uses a step-by-step Prompt-Response format to teach commands in the first part of most chapters, then moves to On Your Own steps that allow students to repeat the sequence at their own pace for reinforcement. * Explains how to use Windows effectively. * Describes Au

Covers release 3 for Windows '95.

This text aims to help users develop their CAD skills as it explores 2D AutoCAD drawing and editing commands using a conceptual discussion with reference tables and lists. It explores advanced drafting commands, introductory 3D modelling, geometric constraints and practical customization features.

Broken down into eight one-hour sessions, it covers all the common features of this graphics package. A companion diskette with sample drawings and symbols is included.

AutoCAD LT is a scaled-down version of AutoCAD and it targeted at the entry-level drafter and designer. The book offers comprehensive coverage of all LT features, beginning with basic drawing commands and moving on to more complex topics, such as taking advantage of OLE integration.
