AutoCAD 2007 For Dummies: PDF Book

Book Name: AutoCAD 2007 For Dummies
Writer:  David Byrnes and Mark Middlebrook

How This Book Is Organized
Appearances can be deceptive. For example, if you saw the apparently
random piles of stuff that covered the authors’ desks while they were writing
this book, you might wonder how they could possibly organize a paragraph,
let alone an entire book. But each of us (given some concerted thought)
knows exactly where to put our hands on that list of new dimension variables,
or that bag of 1⁄2" binder clips, or the rest of that bagel and cream
cheese we started at coffee break.
We hope you’ll find that the book also reflects some concerted thought about
how to present AutoCAD in a way that’s both easy-to-dip-into and smoothlyflowing-
from-beginning-to-end.
The organization of this book into parts — collections of related chapters —
is one of the most important, uh, parts of this book. You really can get to
know AutoCAD one piece at a time, and each part represents a group of
closely related topics. The order of parts also says something about priority;
yes, you have our permission to ignore the stuff in later parts until you’ve
mastered most of the stuff in the early ones. This kind of building-block
approach can be especially valuable in a program as powerful as AutoCAD.
The following sections describe the parts that the book breaks down into.
