This manual teaches users how to make architectural drawings using a computer and the AutoCAD 2005 program. This easy-to-understand book employs the prompt-response format in beginning exercises of all chapters to allow users to learn commands in a drawing situation. The text then provides exercises so users can apply the commands on their own. New features of AutoCAD Release 2005 are described–e.g.: easy to use Table command for quickly creating professional quality tables such as parts lists, door and window schedules, Sheet Sets command for organizing drawings into sets with dynamic contents pages and other helpful features,   redesigned AutoCAD Design Center, modeless dialog boxes, gradient hatch patterns for rendering isometric and two-dimensional drawings, and new plot/print dialog box for 2D and 3D printing and plotting.

NEW—Design format.

~ Makes the book more user friendly.

NEW—“Tips”, “Notes” and “Warning” Boxes–Previously presented as margin notes.

~ Makes material more prominent and readable.

NEW—Easy to use Table command.

~ Allows students to create professional quality tables such as parts lists, door and window schedules quickly and easily.

NEW—Sheet Sets command.

~ Allows drawings to be organized into sets with dynamic contents pages, and other features such as automatic updating of sheet numbering and revision.

NEW—Introduces the redesigned AutoCADDesignCenter.

~ Enables users to access existing catalogs of drawings both in AutoCAD and on the Internet in the construction of drawings and models.

Tutorial exercises using the new gradient hatch feature and the wipeout command.

~ Enables users to render two-dimensional drawings so they look like three-dimensional airbrush renderings.

NEW—Redesigned plot/print dialog box for printing and plotting 2-D drawings and rendered 3-D models.

~ Enables users to print rendered drawings as displayed on the screen.

Project-based approach.

~ Guides users through AutoCAD 2005 in a logical way based on how they would actually use the software on-the-job.

Prompt-response format.

~ Allows users to work on their own and at their own pace.

Basic to complex drawing exercises.

~ Provides users with a structure that builds on previous chapters so they can build on their acquired knowledge.

Objectives begin each chapter.

~ Prepares users by highlighting key concepts to be presented in each chapter.

Review questions conclude each chapter.

~ Provides users with questions that reinforce chapter exercises.

Complete residential and commercial projects—Starting with floor plans and proceeding to dimensioning and area calculation, elevations, wall sections, power and lighting diagrams, isometric, and 3D models.

~ Allows users to work with all types of architectural drawings.

3D chapter includes 3D orbit command.

~ Provides users with rendering and perspective viewing options.

Solid edit command.

~ Assists users with the construction of solid models.

Making a Web page using AutoCAD.

~ Provides users with guidelines that take some of the mystery out of Web—page design.

Model space–paper space.

~ Provides users with the knowledge to document multi-sheet drawings.

Design format.

~ Makes the book more user friendly.
