This three-volume series of texts provides a user-friendly, step-by-step approach to learning AutoCAD® 2004. Using a modularized approach that groups related commands and operations together, these books focus on teaching the most efficient method of operation that enables the user to quickly become a productive CAD operator. With real-world application assignments at each module's conclusion and a final project that a new CAD operator might be required to do in an actual employment situation at the end of each book, this series reinforces hands-on study so that students are fully equipped with the practical skills required to succeed in this field.
Terry Metz combines 21 years of practical engineering experience (working as a drafter, application specialist, sales engineer, and engineering consultant) with 14 years of current teaching experience (responsible for both the AutoCAD® and mechanical engineering programs at a two-year technical college) to provide a sound educational approach to learning AutoCAD®.
