Description
Perfect for those with some AutoCAD experience, this book was crafted to be practical, pragmatic, and empowering. It takes a real-world approach to functions and features, explaining not only how a cool technique works, but also why and when the technique should be employed. Written by an award-winning AutoCAD expert with strong opinions on best practices, the book takes technical graphic standards seriously and explains why you should, too. It is packed with time-saving tips and techniques, and it features detailed information very much in use today but ignored in other books, including DOS functions, scripts, and LISP programming. There are chapters on the user interface, productivity, customization, applying graphics standards, using blocks and Xrefs, plotting, using 3D, scripts, AutoLISP, and techniques tailored to different disciplines. The final chapter, AutoCAD Puzzlers, presents interesting and difficult issues from Dan s consulting experiences and challenges readers to see if they can solve the real-world problems.
