Basic AutoCAD for Interior Designers Using AutoCAD 2002

This is an introductory text on the use of AutoCAD for both 2D drawings and 3D modeling in interior design, focusing on what the interior designer can do with the software, not just what the software can do. It provides step-by-step project- and task-driven tutorials and provides examples that follow current professional drafting conventions and standards, combining explanations of commands with practical drafting procedures. A listing of the command prompt output and input for each AutoCAD command is given, along with a description and explanation of both AutoCAD's and the user's actions for each command, and illustrations and screen captures on every page.
