I am doing a design project for one of my engineering classes and my group and I would really like to use AutoCad to do the designing. Can anyone recommend a good autocad book to learn how to make relivitly simple structures (primarly made of beams)?
thanks,

I am a structural engineer who uses AutoCAD on a daily basis.

Most of the AC books will be geared toward the basics of the software. If you are looking at doing a simple 2D beam/framing layout (overhead), then it would probably be fairly simple.

Or are you trying to draw 3D, isometric sections of wide flange shapes, etc.? That would be a little bit harder 🙂
