About this book

AutoCAD Express NT is a comprehensive and fun introduction to producing drawings using the world's most popular package. It follows the successful approaches of AutoCAD Express and AutoCAD for Windows Express, covering the latest developments and Release 14. New users are guided through the production of CAD drawings along a tried and tested learning curve with graded tutorial-style chapters, each one developing CAD techniques to solve specific drafting problems. Users get to appreciate how commands and tools interact to produce the desired result. The emphasis is on how to produce drawings quickly and efficiently, not by using lengthy abstract descriptions. The reader discovers as much as is needed to control the CAD output, extra features of the commands being discussed when they are useful. This is the Express approach, designed to get you up and running with AutoCAD fast. It is indispensable for architects, town planners, and all those involved in civil, structural, mechanical and design engineering. With the emphasis being on technique, even existing AutoCAD users will learn many new tricks!
