  Millennium fever has hit the AutoCAD world with the landmark release of AutoCAD 2000. An Introduction to AutoCAD 2000 provides a comprehensive introduction to this new version of the world's most widely used computer-aided drawing package. The book presents a practical and logical course of work to the reader, beginning at first principles and going on to more complex exercises in two- and three-dimensional drawing. All the basic features of the package are covered, as are some of the key enhancements in AutoCAD 2000. A colour section of working screenshots illustrate how the package is used, and include examples of 2D drawings and fully rendered 3D models. The special appendices covering printing and plotting, and the separate glossaries of AutoCAD tool names and general computing terms, make this a first-class introduction to AutoCAD 2000. An Introduction to AutoCAD 2000 is an essential introduction to AutoCAD 2000 for engineering students and practitioners, either using the software for the first time or upgrading from previous versions of AutoCAD. It is particularly suitable for engineering and construction courses in further and higher education.
