Preface

This book provides detailed and systematic explanation of the commands, system variables, tools, procedures, processes, and techniques of AutoCAD for creating architectural and construction-related drawings. It is a practical and comprehensive learning tool, text, and workbook that teaches basic and advanced AutoCAD skills to architects, interior designers, facilities planners, building contractors, architectural drafters, and students of architecture, interior design, and construction. It includes step-by-step exercises for hands-on practical applications that provide the know-how to create basic drawings used in architectural working drawings and construction documents. Commands and procedures ale presented in a logical sequence that is easy to read and understand. The primary objective of this book is to provide enough tools that relate to architectural applications of AutoCAD and not to cover every command and procedure. It is a textbook, not an encyclopedia. Other specific features of this book include the following:

  • Fundamentals of AutoCAD commands and procedures with hands-on, step-by-step exercises to produce basic two-dimensional architectural drawings.
  • Explanation of how AutoCAD procedures relate to what an architect or an interior designer might do when creating drawings.
  • Show and tell approach to what an architect, an interior designer, or a student should know in AutoCAD to create and print architectural drawings accurately and precisely.
  • A full range of AutoCAD commands and features specific to the process of creating architectural drawings that you will use on a daily basis in your profession or in the classroom.
  • Contents structured to teach the skills required to practice and master the two-dimensional drawing commands and procedures that allow you to create architectural working drawings and construction related documents.
  • Concepts and commands that are correlated with architectural examples so that you can apply them immediately to your drawings and identify the appropriate commands and procedures to create the required drawings.
  • Step-by-step exercises to reinforce and apply options and command procedures.
  • Useful tips, notes, and cautions that will increase your productivity without sacrificing accuracy. The shortcuts and tricks definitely increase drawing efficiency.
  • Hands-on system of learning with a show-me-how-it's-done approach supported by practical drawing exercises.
  • Tables and charts to make the learning process easier and faster.
  • Advanced commands, procedures and Express Tools to boost productivity.

In addition, each chapter and exercise is built around the concept of "tool and apparatus," where I explain a command, option, or a procedure as a tool and then you execute it with an exercise as an apparatus. As you complete the exercises, I am with you every step of the way with explanations and suggestions. This will give you a real sense of progression as you master commands and procedures. Each chapter is written and presented in a pedagogical format in which fundamental commands and concepts are explained first, followed by step-by-step exercises, and advanced features including many of the express tools, ending with review questions and chapter problems. Commands and procedures are presented in a logical sequence and each chapter is created on the skills presented in the previous chapter. Files for chapter exercise can be downloaded from the http://www.prenhall.com/saka web site.

I have given special attention to commands that are specific to architecture and procedures that an architect or an interior designer may apply when creating architectural drawings. For example, I have included an in-depth coverage and explanation of the MULTILINE command in a separate chapter. I have included the AIA CAD Layer guidelines as part of the architectural layer standards in a separate chapter and the actual layers in the Appendix. As you build your knowledge from one chapter to the next, you will progress to become at ease with easy-to-understand commands and procedures. I have included chapter tests for review of commands and key AutoCAD concepts. I have also created a test bank available for instructors and CAD Managers. The test bank can be used to create an AutoCAD exam to assess skills learned in a semester or to test the skill level of a future employee in a firm.

TYPESTYLE CONVENTIONS

Throughout the book you are requested to access and select commands and respond to commands and their options in the command line using your keyboard or your mouse. The words select, pick, click, left-click, and right-click refer to accessing a command or performing a procedure using the buttons on your muse. The words enter and type refer to typing a command or a system variable at the command line using your keyboard. The word cursor refers to the pick box on the screen and the act of moving the mouse to perform such tasks as picking a point, drawing a line, or accessing a command. Different typefaces are used throughout the book to define procedures and identify AutoCAD commands.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

The first chapter of this book provides an overview of the new features of AutoCAD 20001 as well as Internet features of both versions 2000 and 20001. Features that are new in AutoCAD 20001 that pertain to a specific chapter and section are referenced as AutoCAD 20001 Update: followed by the description of the new feature throughout the text. Chapters 2 through 24 are based on the use of AutoCAD2000 and include the updates. If you just started working with AutoCAD 2000 or AutoCAD2000i, each chapter in this book will teach you important concepts and include step-by-step exercises that show you how to use both versions of AutoCAD effectively and efficiently. Exercises provide key elements necessary to complete a specific task. The text is organized around the procedures that an architect or designer might typically follow when performing a similar task. The following guidelines will help you get the most out of this book:

  • Read the chapter objectives at the beginning of each chapter and understand what tasks you should be able to perform.
  • Read the concepts and key terms in each chapter to understand the application of commands and procedures into the drawing processes.
  • Reread essential features that apply to all types of architectural design and drawing tasks.
  • Review key terms and processes before executing exercises.
  • Complete all exercises to apply AutoCAD features to drawing tasks.
  • When using the step-by-step exercises, review each step to understand what you did for what particular reason.
  • After completing an exercise, ask yourself if you can complete the same exercise without following the steps from the book. If so, move on to the next concept. If not, repeat each exercise until you become comfortable performing the exercise on your own.
  • Pay close attention to tips, notes, and cautions. These allow you to incorporate a different procedure, present an alternate point of view, warn you about things you should not do, or provide a shortcut that you may use to save drawing time.
  • After completing a chapter, answer the Review Questions to assess what you have learned.
  • After the Review Questions, complete the Problems at the end of each chapter.
  • Don't give up if you become frustrated. Practice over and over again until you understand the procedures related to each objective.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There is a lot of room for self-exploration and self-discovery. With patience and practice, AutoCAD will grow on you.

This book can also be used as a reference and training manual in the office and in the studio. With many tools to create company standards to facilitate productivity, it can also be used as the office or studio companion with major architectural CAD concepts and applications that you need to produce and manage construction documents. Whether you are a professional or a student learning AutoCAD on your own or through an instructor-led course, you can use this text as a guide that will provide the know-how you need to increase and boost productivity and efficiency at work or in the classroom. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned AutoCAD user, this text will lead you through the basics as well as the advanced features of AutoCAD.

The successful application of AutoCAD to architectural drawings requires only a basic understanding of the architectural drawing processes, time, patience, and practice. This may be a lot to ask at first, but envision yourself as the person able to create wonderful architectural drawings that some day will transform into a skyscraper or an opera house.
