Debrah Standiford - Second Edition
This book uses the latest technology to address the
basic theories involved in solving descriptive geometry problems.
By incorporating the practical use of computer-aided
drafting and design software into the theories and solutions,
Descriptive Geometry: An Integrated Approach Using AutoCAD®
gives readers an edge that traditional descriptive geometry
textbooks don’t provide.
Structured to be compatible with various releases of
AutoCAD, it is ideal for anyone entering the work force.
A section has been added to the end of each chapter
in this book that covers the use of AutoLISP® programming to
solve a specific spatial problem. In addition, Autodesk Inventor®
has been incorporated into the solution of advanced problem-solving,
as well as flat pattern development (sheet metal).
This unique integration of current technology, plus
fundamental instruction in descriptive geometry principles make this
a valuable addition to every successful design-oriented
architectural and engineering education and training program.
Features:
- extensive coverage of the concepts and theories of descriptive
geometry using AutoCAD
- offers step-by-step instructions for solving descriptive
geometry problems
- utilizes Microsoft Excel® and Access® for solving vector
analyst and developments
- integrates AutoLISP and Visual LISP programming for solving
problems
- Windows® 2000- and XP-based help files allow students instant
access to additional review questions, practice problems,
animations, definitions, key topics, and concepts.
- chapter review questions and exercises for all levels, with
advanced problems to challenge readers looking for further
instruction
