What others are saying about CADD PRIMER Mr. David Byrnes: CAD Systems Magazine (June 2000)"CADD Primer is a fine introduction to the field of computer-aided drafting and design. Its discipline- independent, platform-independent and program-independent coverage has something for everyone, from the prospective Pro/E modeller on her Unix workstation to the prospective FormZ designer on his Macintosh. And if you’re no longer a "prospective" CADD user yourself, you probably know someone who’s starting out in the field. Do them—and maybe yourself—a favor, and give them a copy of CADD Primer." Read complete review Mr. Tony Zilles: Editor CADinfo.net magazine (Oct. 2000):“The CADD Primer is an ideal book for high school or college-level study of CADsystems. It is also suitable for those considering CAD for work or hobby use but who are confused or intimidated by the technology and the jargon that goes with it. The CADD Primer contains all the information that very quickly becomes second knowledge to those who use CAD systems on a regular basis. Most "old hands" learned the information the CADD Primer contains over many years. For the new recruit, the body of "must-have" basic information presents a great hurdle within itself, even before learning a particular CAD program and the discipline that you intend to use it with. All the basic information anyone could need is available, accessible and affordable in the CADD Primer. Highly recommended.” Read complete review Midwest Book Review, Wisconsin Bookwatch (August, 2001): "An invaluable, user-friendly how-to manual....CADD Primer is a unique and highly recommended addition to any professional or architectural school reference collection."

This resource introduces the common principles of CADD that apply to all software packages, whether it is AutoCAD, MicroStation or Cadkey. Rather than being a how-to book, the resource is primarily useful as a reference to key principles. Information can be learned about topics such as drawing dimensions, zoom in and zoom out, erasing drawings, 3D modelling and plotting. Each topic has several line drawings and uses clear and concise writing. An index is included. Suggested Use: Computer-Aided Drafting; Survey Course - Secondary Level. Other Use: Design
