Summary

Mastering AutoCAD 2017 takes a case-study approach to systematically introduce AutoCAD 2017's features and applications, guiding readers into deeper study. The book is divided into 5 parts and 14 chapters. Part 1, the basics, covers installing and configuring AutoCAD 2017 and layers; Part 2, 2D drawing, covers drawing and editing 2D drawings, creating and editing complex objects, text and tables, and dimensioning; Part 3, efficient drafting, covers creating and inserting blocks and managing drawing files; Part 4, 3D drawing, covers creating 3D drawings, converting 3D to 2D, and rendering; Part 5, industry applications, covers drawing interior design floor plans. The book suits beginner and intermediate AutoCAD 2017 users and can serve as a textbook or reference for students in relevant programs and computer training courses.

Editor's review

This book is built around AutoCAD 2017 and organized into five parts: basics, 2D drawing, efficient drafting, 3D drawing, and industry applications. It starts with software installation, configuration, and layers, then moves step by step into drawing and editing 2D drawings, complex objects, text and tables, and dimensioning, before covering blocks and drawing file management, 3D drawing and rendering, and finally an industry application: drawing interior design floor plans. Its value lies in combining software feature learning with real drawing workflows; selected cases guide readers to learn by doing, offering both a systematic overview of basic operations and a progression from 2D to 3D to industry drawings. It works well as a self-study textbook or training reference. Readers are advised to first master the fundamentals of 2D drawing, editing, and dimensioning, then move on to blocks, 3D, and industry cases, completing each chapter's case hands-on for more solid results.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Beginner and intermediate AutoCAD 2017 users who want to learn the software systematically
Students in relevant programs who need a book to accompany coursework in drawing
Trainees in computer training courses who need a case-guided reference
Readers who want to progress from 2D drawing to 3D drawing and industry applications

Not a good fit for

Users already proficient in AutoCAD who only need advanced tips or customization resources
Readers who want to specialize in other CAD software or non-AutoCAD platforms
Readers who only want drawing theory and do not plan to practice with the software

Reading tips

Complete the basics and 2D drawing parts first; practice layers, drawing and editing, and dimensioning before moving on.
Follow each chapter's case step by step, then try applying the same method to a simple drawing of your own.
When studying the 3D drawing part, combine it with rendering practice to understand the 3D-to-2D workflow.
Finally, use the interior design floor plan in the industry applications part to tie together what you've learned and test your overall drawing skills.
