AutoCAD continues to dominate the two-dimensional drafting marketplace for achitects and interior designers. This book aims to help the design community by visually teaching for understanding. You can broadly sort the numerous AutoCAD books into two categories-"guides for dummies" and "exhaustive references"-neither of which specifically addresses how professional designers use AutoCAD. Digital Drawing for Designers sits between these two categories, providing both a thorough primer for new learners and expanded conceptual discussion for design professionals. The progressive introduction of concepts (chapters build on previous chapter), printed exercises, and visual examples make this book easy to follow for learners new to AutoCAD. While I developed the material in this book for the university classroom, it also seems appropriate as an office reference for both junior and senior design professionals.
