AutoCAD - A Handbook for Theatre Users

The book was published by ET Press in January of 2005. After much struggling with how to approach it, I eventually hit upon one large project running throughout the book.

I selected the creation of a Groundplan and 3D rendering of a fictional theatre. By this method most of the techniques required are covered in a theatrical context that people should be to relate to.

Exercises and examples throughout the book help the reader monitor their progress in using AutoCAD. AutoCAD releases 2000 to 2004 are covered in the first edition.

The book has 256 pages and over 250 illustrations. Supporting files for the exercises in the book are available from the ET Books website.
