Overview

AutoCAD® is a premier PC-based drafting tool that has been used by millions of engineers, draftsmen, project managers, and engineering students since its inception in 1982. AutoCAD 2010 3D Modeling Essentials provides new and seasoned users with simple step-by-step procedures on how to create and modify 3D models, set up cameras and lights, assign materials to objects, render, and print. Use the DVD to set up drawing exercises, view all of the book’s figures in full color, and draw with a trial version of AutoCAD 2010.
