Advanced AutoCAD® 2013

This is the right book for users if they liked the author’s Beginning AutoCAD workbook, or they’re looking for a clear, no nonsense, easy-to-follow text, or they want to learn more about AutoCAD such as Xref, Attributes, and 3D solids. Totally updated for AutoCAD 2013 and 2013 LT, it includes Enhanced 3D Operations, Create Details, and Projected and Section Views from 3D Models. All exercises print easily on a standard 8-1/2 X 11 printer. It is for use with the PC version of AutoCAD 2013 only. It shows users step-by-step HOW TO: Customize your workspace: create new Ribbon tabs and panels, customize the Quick Access Toolbar, customize the Status Bar; create master setup drawings for decimals or architecture; create Isometric drawings and dimensions; insert just about anything using the Design Center; easily understand Blocks, Dynamic Blocks and Attributes; use the time-saving External Reference commands; learn the basics for 3-dimensional drawing; work with the powerful Table maker; and create Parametric objects using Geometric and Dimensional constraints.
