<p>This highly engaging, fast-paced manual is written by experts who will power readers through the ins and outs of using AutoCAD 2002 while sharing first-hand knowledge of how it is being used in today's professional marketplaces to generate 2D drawings as well as create and render sophisticated 3D models. Extraordinarily complete, yet markedly concise, AutoCAD 2002: Complete is an essential how-to book and long-lasting reference that begins by leading readers to a solid understanding of how to start new projects, control the drawing environment, and organize drawings using AutoCAD's layers. Numerous step-by-step examples and hands-on exercises allow readers to move quickly into creating and editing 2D drawings, including annotating, hatching, dimensioning and plotting. The book then expands upon this expertise by introducing and explaining clearly, yet succinctly how to take full advantage of AutoCAD's 3D modeling tools to generate first-quality drawings, surfaces, solid models and renderings. A final chapter is also included to help readers navigate through advanced topics with emphasis on developing "in demand" skills such as photo-realistic rendering, object linking and embedding (OLE), plus working with external databases. All topics are introduced in a logical and progressive sequence, enabling novices to advance quickly to proficiency. And, because examples and exercises increase in number and variety as topics become more complex, readers with prior experience using earlier AutoCAD releases (or other CAD applications) can zero-in easily on the specific AutoCAD 2002 tools and techniques that interest to them.</p>

New from Autodesk Press, our AutoCAD 2002: Migration Manual provides experienced users with a comprehensive overview as well as in-depth analysis of all of the new features and functions available in their AutoCAD 2002 software. Here, readers are encouraged to hone in on subtle and sometimes hard-to-find improvements, such as: new system variables, changes to previously existing commands, enhancements to associative dimensioning, as well as the new Block Attribute Manager, Edit Attribute Dialog, and the enhanced Attribute Editor. Step-by-step explanations of how to use more complex features of AutoCAD 2002 - including the new plotting paradigm, Internet connectivity tools, and recently released series of extensions (e.g., Design XML, Standards, Manager, and more!) - is also included. To minimize the learning curve while tackling all of the "hows" and "whys" of upgrading head-on, this migration manual is conveniently organized into three main sections: Migrating from R14 to R2000, Migrating from R2000 to R2000i, and Migrating from R2000i to R2002. By selecting the section that pertains to them, readers can find immediate answers to their migration questions and discover new ways of harnessing the power of their software to produce optimal results.
