There is an old saying that an engineer describes every idea with a drawing. With the advances in computer technology and drawing software it has never been easier or more important to learn computer aided design. To be effective however a drawing must accurately convey your intended meaning and that requires more than just knowing how to use software. This book provides you with a clear presentation of the theory of engineering graphics and the use of Auto CAD 2025 as they pertain to civil engineering applications. This combination of theory and its practical application will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to create designs that are accurate and easily understood by others. Book Organization Each chapter starts with a bulleted list of chapter objectives followed by an introduction. This provides you with a general overview of the material that will be covered in the chapter. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain step-by-step instructions and illustrations to help you learn to use the various Auto CAD commands. More importantly you will also learn how and why you would use these tools in real world projects.
