Our students learn best when we create connections between the new information we are teaching and information that our students already know. Digital Drawing for Designers and the provided curriculum introduces beginning and advanced AutoCAD commands and concepts through visual connections to hand drawing.
Your students are visual learners
Are you using a visual guide to AutoCAD?
AutoCAD has long been the industry standard for digital drawing—but how do you decide which manual to use with your course? Neither simplistic nor exhaustive, Digital Drawing for Designers teaches by relating to what architects and interior designers understand best: the visual world.
Step-by-Step InstructionBeginning with the building blocks of drawing (lines, circles, and arcs), students progress to the graphic standards that will allow them to create drawings and communicate their design ideas. The final six chapters in this book introduce many advanced AutoCAD concepts like dimensioning drawings, creating your own drawing stencils, and linking drawings. Learners that have a basic understanding of AutoCAD will appreciate the in-depth visual discussion about XREFs, editable blocks, dimension styles, and text leaders. By combining these advanced concepts with a strong foundation for drawing in AutoCAD, you will be prepared to work on or create any digital drawing.
Clear, Concise, and Above All Visual
All learners will appreciate the fully illustrated step-by-step lessons. This is the AutoCAD guide written specifically for Architects and Interior Designers.
