With a focus on fundamental skill development, AutoCAD Workskills for Success with AutoCAD 2008- Basics is designed around the “Draw-Modify-Dimension-Print” cycle and focuses on the drawing skills needed to produce 2 dimensional drawings. Taking a layered learning approach, it builds skills gradually rather than overwhelming users immediately with numerous commands or procedures.  The book draws from the fields of architecture, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and emphasizes both knowledge and productivity as the means for being successful in the workplace.  Emphasizes basic draw, modify, dimension and plot skills so users can quickly begin to produce and complete fundamental drawings.  Moves from basic commands to more powerful commands based on workplace drawing experiences.  Uses exercises and tutorials to develop a true understanding of the fundamental skills needed to be successful in the workplace.   A perfect tool for CAD Managers, CAD Technicians and Drafting Technicians.
