Your AutoCAD 2002 Instructor is intended for instructor-lead instruction and self-instruction in AutoCAD software. AutoCAD is the market leader for all CAD software and is used by nearly two million students and professionals in architecture, engineering, construction, and design. Developed from teaching techniques used in an authorized AutoCAD Training Center and in instruction for engineering colleges, AutoCAD 2000 Instructor covers all features and capabilities of AutoCAD. The text is command-oriented so chapters are centered around groups of related commands. This feature makes the text very effective as a reference text. The chapters are structured in a practical/pedagogical sequence beginning with instruction in general procedures for using the computer interface, setting up and creating drawings, and then progressing to advanced features such as dimensioning, special drawing applications and AutoCAD features, three-dimensional modeling and rendering, and software customization. McGraw-Hill is proud to be one of the first and few publishers to have a text on AutoCAD 2002.

• In depth coverage of AutoCAD’s commands and features • Chapters are structured around related commands • Starts with fundamental commands and progresses to more specialized applications • An ideal reference guide for users at all levels • Well suited for a two or three course sequence • Includes introductory videos and bonus chapters on dynamic blocks and express tools This book is your AutoCAD 2024 Instructor. The objective of this book is to provide you with extensive knowledge of AutoCAD, whether you are taking an instructor-led course or learning on your own. AutoCAD 2024 Instructor maintains the pedagogy and in-depth coverage that have always been the hallmark of the Leach texts. As the top-selling university textbook for more than a decade, the AutoCAD Instructor series continues to deliver broad coverage of AutoCAD in a structured, easy-to-comprehend manner. AutoCAD 2024 Instructor is command-oriented, just like AutoCAD. Chapters are structured around related commands, similar to the organization of AutoCAD’s menu system. The sequence of chapters starts with fundamental drawing commands and skills and then progresses to more elaborate procedures and specialized applications. The writing style introduces small pieces of information explained in simple form, and then builds on that knowledge to deliver more complex drawing strategies, requiring a synthesis of earlier concepts. Over 2000 figures illustrate the commands, features, and ideas. AutoCAD 2024 Instructor is an ideal reference guide, unlike tutorial-oriented books where specific information is hard to relocate. Because these chapters focus on related commands, and complete coverage for each command is given in one place, the commands, procedures, and applications are easy to reference. Tabbed pages help locate tables, lists, appendices, and the comprehensive index. What makes this book unique? • In depth coverage of AutoCAD 2024 commands and features • Command Tables indicate where to locate and how to start each command • TIP markers in the margin provide important tips, notes, reminders, and short-cuts • Complete chapter exercises with many multi-chapter “REUSE” problems • Well suited for a two or three course sequence Online Resources Your purchase of AutoCAD 2024 Instructor includes two free exclusive bonus chapters and introductory videos that are available by redeeming the unique access code found on the inside of the front cover. These bonus chapters cover dynamic blocks and express tools. Introductory Videos This textbook includes access to videos that are designed to help you get started using some of the main tools in AutoCAD. Having instructions on how to use these tools in both written and video form helps reinforce and strengthen your understanding of these core tools. The videos are especially helpful to those who learn best from watching someone use AutoCAD and describe how the tools work.
