AutoCAD and Its Applications—Advanced

• Chapter reviews. Each chapter includes review questions at the end of the
chapter. Questions require you to give the proper defi nition, command, option,
or response to perform a certain task. You may also be asked to explain a topic
or list appropriate procedures. An electronic version of the chapter review for
each chapter is available on the companion website.
• Drawing problems. There are a variety of drawing and design problems at the
ends of chapters. These are presented as real-world CAD drawings, 3D illustra-
tions, and engineering sketches. The problems are designed to make you think,
solve problems, use design techniques, research and use proper drawing stan-
dards, and correct errors in the drawings or engineering sketches. Graphics are
used to represent the discipline to which a drawing problem applies.
These problems address mechanical drafting and design applications, such
as manufactured part designs.
These problems address architectural and structural drafting and design
applications, such as fl oor plans, furniture, and presentation drawings.
These problems address piping drafting and design applications, such as
tank drawings and pipe layout.
These problems address a variety of general drafting and design applica-
tions. These problems should be attempted by everyone learning advanced
AutoCAD techniques for the fi rst time.
NOTE NOTE
Some problems presented in this text are given as engineering
sketches. These sketches are intended to represent the kind of material
from which a drafter is expected to work in a real-world situation. As
such, engineering sketches often contain errors or slight inaccuracies
and are most often not drawn according to proper drafting conven-
tions and applicable standards. Additionally, other drawings may
contain errors or inaccuracies. Errors in these problems are intentional
to encourage you to apply appropriate techniques and standards in
order to solve the problem. As in real-world applications, sketches
should be considered preliminary layouts. Always question inaccura-
cies in sketches and designs and consult the applicable standards or
other resources.
