An Introduction to AutoCAD 2002 provides a comprehensive introduction to this new version of the world's most widely used computer-aided drawing package. The book presents a practical and logical course of work to the reader, beginning at first principles and including a series of progressive exercises in two- and three-dimensional drawing. 
All the basic features of the package are covered, as are some of the key enhancements in AutoCAD 2002. A color section of working screenshots illustrates how the package is used, and includes examples of 2D drawings and fully rendered 3D models. The special appendices covering printing and plotting, and the separate glossaries of AutoCAD tool names and general computing terms, make this a first-class introduction to AutoCAD 2002. 
Key features: Written by Alf Yarwood, an Autodesk Registered Developer and experienced CAD author. Covers all the basic features of the package, assuming no previous knowledge. New! Introduction to Design XML. Familiarizes the reader with the software's capabilities through a structured course of work. Provides exercises and questions throughout to reinforce the drawing techniques. 
Illustrated throughout with working screenshots and example AutoCAD drawings. An Introduction to AutoCAD 2002 is ideal for engineering students and practitioners, either using the software for the first time or upgrading from previous versions of AutoCAD. It is particularly suitable for engineering and construction courses in further and higher education. 
Alf Yarwood is the author of many books in the area of computer and technical drawing, including AutoCAD Release 14- A Concise Guide; An Introduction to AutoCAD Release 14; An Introduction to AutoCAD Release 13; AutoCAD Release 12 for Students; An Introduction to 3D Studio Max for Windows 95; An Introduction to AutoCAD LT 97 and An Introduction to AutoCAD 2000.

This book is intended for use by those who wish to learn how to produce technical drawings with the aid of the computer software package AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a software package with a host of facilities, some of which are not discussed in this book. This book however contains sufficient information on how to use AutoCAD for producing technical drawings to satisfy the requirements of students in the upper forms of schools and in further and in higher education. It should also be a valuable text for those in industry new to CAD and who wish to learn how to use and familiarize themselves with AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a complex drawing and design tool. Because of this, no attempt is made within the pages of this book to describe its more advanced facilities. For example the host of variables which can be set by entering the setvar command system are not described; the use of macros to speed up some of the processes of drawing with the software is not included. There is however, sufficient information and exercise material to enable students to undertake the production of complicated technical drawings of an advanced nature. Work discs are available containing approximately 50 starter drawings for the exercises from this book in AutoCAD drawing file form. The drawing files can be loaded into the AutoCAD drawing editor. The discs are suitable for loading into AutoCAD version 10, or later. The computer must be an IBM compatible PC with MS.DOS, equipped with a suitable coprocessor and have at least 640 kilobyte of RAM.
