Cheng\`s foundation tutorial provides a practical, step-by-step introduction to computer-aided design drawing using AUTOCAD RELEASE 13. It presents AutoCAD commands in context of hands-on exercises that guide first-time users through: entity creation, editing, and manipulation; creation of engineering drawings; preparation, dimensions, and plotting hard-copy documents; and an introduction to 3D CAD drawing using wireframe models and 3D polygonal meshes. The book concentrates on how to perform two basic tasks - creating a model drawing, and then editing it. Once users learn how to create and edit a drawing, they then study techniques in manipulating it. A summary of all AutoCAD commands used in the exercises is found in the appendix at the end of the book, making this a useful working reference for professional engineers and designers. Mechanical engineering drawings are used as working examples, but the skills covered are equally applicable to any branch of engineering. ISBN - 9780534955069
