Today's most popular software applications -AutoCAD, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft Excel - are used in Descriptive Geometry: An Integrated Approach Using AutoCAD to assist readers in developing a complete understanding of the principles involved in graphically describing a technical project through the use of descriptive geometry. Emphasis on learning to apply descriptive geometry principles to solve real-world problems accurately and efficiently, with the use of AutoCAD, is incorporated into 75% of the solutions to problems presented in the book. In addition to numerous practice problems requiring the use of AutoCAD, each chapter of Descriptive Geometry also invites readers to utilize AutoLISP and Visual LISP programming to solve specific spatial problems. An accompanying interactive, Windows-based CD-ROM containing quick access to definitions, examples, animations, video clips, web links, and practice tests is included for use in conjunction with the book. This unique integration of current technology, plus fundamental instruction in descriptive geometry principles make Descriptive Geometry: An Integrated Approach Using AutoCAD a valuable addition to every successful design-oriented architectural and engineering education and training program. For maximum benefit, the reader should possess a basic understanding of manual drafting, AutoCAD, and the use of spreadsheets prior to beginning study of descriptive geometry using this book. - Compatibility with AutoCAD Release 2000 and Release 14, encourages the use of today's leading CAD application.
- Use of AutoCAD has been incorporated into 75% of the theories and solutions to problems presented in the book for realistic problem-solving practice.
- A section at the end of each chapter of the book challenges readers to utilize AutoLISP and Visual LISP programming to solve specific spatial problems.
- In keeping with its emphasis on current technology, readers are introduced to Microsoft Excel in the solution of vector problems as well as Microsoft Access and its potential applications in the area of developments.
- Problems at the end of each chapter provide opportunities to apply the theories presented in each chapter, with advanced problems also included to further challenge the reader.
- The companion CD-ROM features interactive, Windows-based help files, plus definitions, example problems, animations, and practice exams to assist readers in applying descriptive geometry concepts.

There are many things left out of this book! Some examples that refer to files on the CD are not there, and some of those that are could not possibly be the correct ones. I am using this book for a class and I am constantly forced to look in other books to properly describe the information this book was supposed to cover. One error on the CD that was very upsetting was a practice test that did not have the correct answer for a question. Not very helpful! I've seen plenty of subpar books before, but this one takes the cake.
This book has potential of being a good resource if the problems are corrected in a revision, but in its current state of poorly written material, misleading examples, and awful review questions/exercises I strongly oppose the use of this book in colleges.
THOMSON or Standiford, if this book does get revised PLEASE use a more up-to-date version of AutoCAD to show examples. AutoCAD 2000 just doesn't cut it for a book released in 2005. |

(1/4/2001)

The knowledge of the authors of this book unquestionably surpasses others. The wisdom and understanding that is displayed in this book goes far beyond any other I have seen. This book is manifestation that many years of experience played a fundamental role in the anthology of data. This is a must have book. |
