N.Poleshchuk. "AutoCAD 2012 - In Origin" (2011, in Russian)

"AutoCAD 2012 - In Origin" (2011, in Russian)

BHV-Petersburg Publishing House issued a book:

31. N.Poleshchuk. "AutoCAD 2012 - In Origin". BHV-Petersburg, 2012, 752 pp. + CD. ISBN 5-9775-0709-7.

The book is oriented for experienced users and describes AutoCAD 2012 interface and commands. The system is designed for creation of drawings and for 3D modeling. It tells about building graphical documents using entities and constraints between them. An associative connection of model and views in paper layouts is demonstrated. Design automation tools are discussed: dynamic blocks, annotation mechanism, underlays. There are novelties: AutoCAD WS that is a program for work on drawings with internet & cloud calculations; Inventor Fusion that is a module to connect to an extremely efficient Autodesk Inventor kernel. The description is accompanied by a great amount of useful reference information. The book is appended with animation and 2D/3D printing themes.
Some material is transferred to the disk.
