\'Ian Mawdsley has drawn on his own extensive teaching experience to produce an AutoCAD course written with a real understanding of teaching requirements and the learning process.\' \'The step-by-step instructions and clear explanations make this book ideal for courses with limited contact time as well as independent study, and for use in a CAD suite with students working at different rates of progress. Numerous exercises throughout enable the reader to develop their own CAD skills as well as reinforcing their understanding of AutoCAD commands.\' \'This book has been carefully designed to meet the needs of the AutoCAD courses run by universities, colleges and an increasing number of schools. Anyone who completes Ian Mawdsley's course will have gained a thorough grounding in 2D techniques and explored the basics of 3D work. The content of the course covers the requirements of the new City & Guilds 4351 scheme and the new Edexcel Advanced Award in AutoCAD (level 3).\'--BOOK JACKET.
