Preface

The purpose of writing this book is to produce a text suitable for students

in Further and/or Higher Education who are required to learn how to

use the computer-aided design (CAD) software package AutoCAD®

2011. Students taking examinations based on CAD will ind the contents

of the book of great assistance. The book is also suitable for those in

industry wishing to learn how to construct technical drawings with the

aid of AutoCAD 2011 and those who, having used previous releases of

AutoCAD, wish to update their skills to AutoCAD 2011.

The chapters in Part 1 – 2D Design, dealing with two-dimensional (2D)

drawing, will also be suitable for those wishing to learn how to use

AutoCAD LT 2011, the 2D version of this latest release of AutoCAD.

Many readers using previous releases of AutoCAD will ind the book’s

contents largely suitable for use with those versions, although AutoCAD

2011 has many enhancements over previous releases (some of which

are mentioned in Chapter 21).

The contents of the book are basically a graded course of work,

consisting of chapters giving explanations and examples of methods

of constructions, followed by exercises which allow the reader to

practise what has been learned in each chapter. The irst 11 chapters are

concerned with constructing technical drawing in 2D. These are followed

by chapters detailing the construction of 3D solid drawings and rendering

them. The inal two chapters describe the Internet tools of AutoCAD

2011 and the place of AutoCAD in the design process. The book inishes

with two appendices – a list of tools with their abbreviations and a list of

some of the set variables upon which AutoCAD 2011 is based.

AutoCAD 2011 is very complex CAD software package. A book of

this size cannot possibly cover the complexities of all the methods for

constructing 2D and 3D drawings available when working with AutoCAD

2011. However, it is hoped that by the time the reader has worked through

the contents of the book, he/she will be suficiently skilled with methods

of producing drawing with the software to be able to go on to more

advanced constructions with its use and will have gained an interest in the

more advanced possibilities available when using AutoCAD.
