Site Layout Exercise

I think its great copying it, but im looking for a tutorial that goes into greater detail on how to do it.

I.e what scale they are using etc etc

any ideas?

What types of tutorials? Mechanical, architectural, other?

One suggestion: Buy a good aftermarket AutoCAD book. Many now come with a CD that has drawing examples keyed to the chapters.

Erm im not sure to be honest, just ones similar to that tutorial.

Ive seen quite a few books in pc world, im going to buy one or two on my way home.

You can't go wrong with books by George Omura, Ellen Finkelstein or Ralph Grabowski.

As regards tutorials just do a search on Google. Type in the following (exactly as you see it):

"autocad"+"tutorials"

That should pull up a goodly number of hits.

I would stick with the books. Or online when you need a change.

Along with any exercises, try drawing something you know.

The secret? Work, work, work!

"Only practice makes perfect!"

Are there tutorials / books that are industry specific eg. architectural - electrical?

I know of at least one book that is specific to AutoCAD and architecture and that would be AutoCAD 2009 and AutoCAD LT 2009 No Experience Required by Jon McFarland, Wiley Publishing, Inc. The author takes you through the process of drawing a small cabin.

hi mark is this the book you mean?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/AutoCAD-2009-LT-Experience-Required/dp/0470260580

iam: Yes it is. I've got it here beside me as a matter of fact. The book does not come with a CD but rather a link to a website where you can compare your drawing to the author's.

smashing, will buy it later on today

Smashing. Where are you located? The U.K.?

yes, glasgow

I'll have to keep that in mind when I post to some of your threads. Different units of measure. Thanks.
