Description of Residential Design Using AutoCAD 2004

The Publisher writes

This book starts with a basic introduction to AutoCAD 2004 and then begins a house floor plan. Using step-by-step tutorial lessons, the residential project is followed through to create elevations, sections, details, etc. Throughout the project, new AutoCAD commands are covered at the appropriate time. Focus is placed on the most essential parts of a command rather than an exhaustive review of every sub-feature of a particular command.
