Engineering Graphics with AutoCAD 2015 teaches technical drawing using AutoCAD 2015 as its drawing instrument, complying with ANSI standards. Taking a step-by-step approach, it encourages students to work at their own pace and uses sample problems and illustrations to guide them through the powerful features of this drawing program. Nearly 150 exercise problems provide instructors with a variety of assignment material and students with an opportunity to develop their creativity and problem-solving capabilities. This book includes the following features:

 

•     Step-by-step format throughout the text allows students to work directly from the text to the screen and provides an excellent reference during and after the course.

•     Covers the latest in dynamic blocks, user interface improvements, and productivity enhancements.

•     Exercise, sample problems and projects appear in each chapter, providing examples of software capabilities and giving students an opportunity to apply their own knowledge to realistic design situations. Includes examples of how to create an animated assembly, apply dimension to a drawing, calculate shear and bending values, and more! 

•     ANSI standards are discussed when appropriate, introducing students to the appropriate techniques and national standards.

•     Illustrations and sample problems provided in every chapter, supporting the step-by-step approach by illustrating how to use AutoCAD 2015 and its features to solve various design problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required School Textbook to Learn AutoCAD
Reviewed in the United States on 10 September 2016

This book is an introduction to AutoCAD. It starts by introducing you to most of the buttons and their functions in AutoCAD. From there, it gives you exercises to practice those tools you just learned.

It starts off pretty simple by making basic shapes, but it gets more difficult as you progress by getting into tolerances and making you figure things out on your own. Every chapter builds on the previous chapter, but my professor had us jumping around based on what he thought we needed to know.

This was a required textbook for my AutoCAD I and II classes.
