Learn AutoCAD Mechanical Drawing Using AutoCAD 2016 By David Martin

Introduction :

AutoCAD Students: Welcome to Learn AutoCAD!: Mechanical Drawing Using AutoCAD 2016. This book is designed to give you an introduction to Mechanical Drawing using the AutoCAD 2016 software. These projects were originally developed based on the projects used for my Introduction to AutoCAD course at Glendale Community College in Glendale, California. You will receive an introduction to the 3D portion of the software and complete the projects using this portion of the program. Once you have completed the tutorials, you may wish to print your drawings and assemble them into a portfolio. You should have a general knowledge of orthographic projection, linetypes, vellum and border sizes, welding symbology, and dimensioning practice.Each project has set of procedures that will aid you in drawing the project. The units that are used are either in inches or millimeters. Before beginning the project, be sure to set up the file with the appropriate drawing units and layers. As the book projects progress, the setup for new projects will change. A good strategy is to use a previous project that is similar to the currentproject to aid in the set-up of the file. If a template does not exist, create one from a completed drawing.
Before beginning the projects, it is recommended to print out the PDFversions of the completed projects. This way you will have a referencefor the measurements and locations of the features of each part. High resolution files of the PDF versions of the projects are available on the book website.
