| mastering autocad civil 3d 2012: Residential Design Using AutoCAD 2013 Daniel John Stine, 2012-04-27 Residential Design Using AutoCAD 2013 is an introductory level tutorial which uses residential design exercises as the means to teach you AutoCAD 2013. Each book comes with a DVD containing numerous video presentations in which the author shows and explains the many tools and techniques used in AutoCAD 2013. After completing this book you will have a well-rounded knowledge of Computer Aided Drafting that can be used in the industry and the satisfaction of having completed a set of residential drawings. This textbook starts with an optional section that covers basic hand sketching techniques and concepts intended to increase your ability to sketch design ideas by hand and to think three-dimensionally. The book then proceeds with a basic introduction to AutoCAD 2013. The first three chapters are intended to get you familiar with the user interface and many of the common menus and tools. Throughout the rest of the book you will design a residence through to its completion. Using step-by-step tutorial lessons, the residential project is followed through to create elevations, sections, details, etc. Throughout the project, new AutoCAD commands are covered at the appropriate time. Focus is placed on the most essential parts of a command rather than an exhaustive review of every sub-feature of a particular command. The Appendix contains a bonus section covering the fundamental principles of engineering graphics that relate to architecture. |

| mastering autocad civil 3d 2012: Introduction to AutoCAD 2022 for Civil Engineering Applications Nighat Yasmin, 2021-09 There is an old saying that an engineer describes every idea with a drawing. With the advances in computer technology and drawing software, it has never been easier, or more important, to learn computer aided design. To be effective, however, a drawing must accurately convey your intended meaning and that requires more than just knowing how to use software. This book provides you with a clear presentation of the theory of engineering graphics and the use of AutoCAD 2022 as they pertain to civil engineering applications. This combination of theory and its practical application will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to create designs that are accurate and easily understood by others. Book Organization Each chapter starts with a bulleted list of chapter objectives followed by an introduction. This provides you with a general overview of the material that will be covered in the chapter. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain step-by-step instructions and illustrations to help you learn to use the various AutoCAD commands. More importantly, you will also learn how and why you would use these tools in real world projects. This book has been categorized and ordered into 13 parts: • Introduction to AutoCAD 2022 ribbon interface (1-7) • Dimensioning and tolerancing using AutoCAD 2022 (8-9) • AutoCAD and annotation (10) • Use of AutoCAD in land survey data plotting (11-12) • The use of AutoCAD in hydrology (13-14) • Transportation engineering and AutoCAD (15-16) • AutoCAD and architecture technology (17-19) • Introduction to working drawings (20) • Plotting from AutoCAD (21) • External Reference Files - Xref (22) • Suggested drawing problems (23-24) • Bibliography (25) • Index (26) New in the 2022 Edition Several improvements were made to the current edition. The most significant improvements to this edition are the addition of a new chapter focusing on Annotation and the new examples for Chapters 10 – 17 (the civil engineering applications). PowerPoint presentations have been created and are available to instructors. The index was also improved. The contents of the book are based on the ribbon interface. Chapter 23 (Suggested In-Class Activities) provides in-class activities (or ICA). Some of the initial ICAs now include drawing examples with step-by-step instructions. Also, new problems have been added to the homework chapter. Furthermore, the contents and the drawings of every chapter are improved, and new examples are added. |
