Appropriate for an Engineering Graphics course, this book complies with ANSI standards and teaches technical drawing using AutoCAD as its drawing instrument. Taking a step-by-step approach, it encourages readers to work at their own pace. Engineering Graphics with AutoCAD® 2009 uses sample problems and illustrations to guide users through the powerful features of the AutoCAD drawing program. Unique to this text, over 140 exercise problems are included to provide instructors with a variety of assignment material and students with an opportunity to develop both their creativity and their problem-solving capabilities.
