AutoCAD is a highly complex 2-D and 3-D technical-drawing tool for mechanical and architectural engineers. In Inside AutoCAD Release 14 you'll find coverage of all the new features, such as modified Tablet menu and toolbars, new layer- and linetype-properties management, streamlined real-time pan and zoom, improved object snaps and the new AutoSnap feature, Web-browser integration, and improved help.

Topics include working with layers and linetypes, creating and editing drawings, dimensioning and plotting, working in 3-D, customizing AutoCAD, using Script Files, learning AutoLISP (the AutoCAD programming language), using ActiveX Automation, learning the AutoCAD SQL Environment, publishing your drawings on the Web, and collaborating over the Internet or an intranet. Throughout the book you get plenty of step-by step instruction. A CD-ROM features exercise files for working along with the projects in the book, as well as a layer-standards manager and demo software. Appendices offer references on system and dimensioning variables.
