This text demonstrates how any designer can increase his or her repertoire of design tools by using CAD as an alternative to traditional drafting and design. It describes the latest applications of computer-aided-design (CAD) using microcomputers and even shows how to customize professional CAD programs. The book introduces architectural programming and symbolic programming with LISP, and employs versatile graphics. It also provides a structured overview of CAD applications to line drawings, tracing, sketching and scaling; the generation of plans, sections, elevations, axonometrics and perspectives; and the manipulation of designs by means of transformations, repetition, and extrusions.
