AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT are the most popular computer-aided design (CAD) platforms for 2D drawing and 3D modeling, as well as one of the most adaptable software tools for architectural and engineering projects. This hands-on lesson will walk you through all you need to know to get the most out of this powerful tool, from a basic tour of the user interface to employing sophisticated capabilities.
Beginning with basic drawing forms and functions, you'll learn the principles of CAD design. Then you'll learn about effective drawing organization with layers, dynamic blocks, and groups, as well as how to add comments and plot like a pro. The book digs into 3D modeling and will guide you through the process of converting your 2D drawings into 3D models and forms. You'll learn how to use sophisticated tools and features like isometric drawings, drawing utilities for organizing and recovering complex files, quantity surveying, and transdisciplinary drawing files using xRefs as you proceed, with the support of practical exercises at the conclusion of each chapter. Finally, you'll learn how to render and visualize your designs in AutoCAD.
By the end of the book, you'll have a basic understanding of CAD principles and be able to confidently work with AutoCAD software to create impressive 2D and 3D designs. What you will discover:
- Learn the fundamentals of CAD by utilizing AutoCAD's basic operations, navigation, and components.
- Using the solid editing tools, create complicated 3D solid objects from primitive shapes.
- Using xRef to collaborate and work with reusable items such as Blocks
- Investigate some advanced capabilities such as external references and dynamic blocks.
- Learn how to use surface and mesh modeling tools like Fillet, Trim, and Extend.
- In AutoCAD, use the paper space layout to create excellent plots for 2D and 3D models.
- Convert your two-dimensional sketches into three-dimensional models.
Among the best books on 3D modeling, Practical Autodesk AutoCAD 2021 and AutoCAD LT 2021 is intended for design engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, and anybody involved in construction, manufacturing, or a related sector. This AutoCAD book will be useful whether you are a complete beginner, a student, or a professional wishing to improve your engineering design skills. There is no need for prior understanding of CAD or AutoCAD.
