The following new features in AutoCAD 2007 are covered in this book: The author has also matched the coverage to the requirements of City and Guilds, Edexcel (BTEC) and SQA syllabuses. The emphasis on learning through doing makes this book ideal for anyone involved in engineering, construction or architecture - where the focus is on productivity and practical skills. As a result, this book provides a true, step-by-step, detailed exploration of the AutoCAD functions required at each stage of producing a 2D drawing - an approach often not found in the many software reference guides available. The focus on 2D drawing in one book ensures the reader gets a thorough grounding in the subject, with a greater depth of coverage than tends to be available from general introductions to AutoCAD. Bob McFarlane's hands-on approach is uniquely suited to independent learning and use on courses. Beginning AutoCAD 2007 is a course based on learning and practising the essentials of 2D drawing using AutoCAD.
