The philosophy behind this book is that learning computerized drafting programs is best accomplished by emphasizing the application of the tools rather than spending time on the theoretical principles underpinning engineering graphics and computer aided design. Students also seem to learn more quickly and retain information and skills better if they are actually creating something with the soft…
