This is a book/disk set with a strong emphasis on the disks. It is a tutorial/reference/toolkit that teaches how to develop professional-quality applications for AutoCAD, and it provides the reference material and programming tools and libraries to make doing so efficient and relatively easy. With this book, you can develop applications for any discipline, using the tools and techniques available in the ADS, AME, DCL, ASE/SQL, and Windows DDE and OLE APIs.
This book will help structural geologists keep abreast of rapid changes in work practices resulting from the personal computer revolution. It is organized into six parts: I Computer-Aided Learning; II Microstructural Analysis; III Analysis of Orientation Data; IV Strain and Kinematic Analysis; V Mathematical and Physical Modeling; VI Structural Mapping and GIS. The 45 contributing authors explain how to: set up computer-aided teaching and learning facilities on a low budget; illustrate tectonic strain concepts with a drawing program; integrate multimedia presentations into structural coursework; analyze microstructures with computer-aided microscopy; produce sophisticated stereonets with custom software for both the Mac and IBM PC; evaluate orientation data using a spreadsheet program; model the development of macrostructures and microstructures numerically; integrate structural and geophysical data; and apply PC technology to the production of structural maps, cross sections, and block diagrams. The editor's own contributions reveal the inner workings of his renowned structural research applications which are used in hundreds of universities worldwide. Commercial and non-commercial applications of particular interest to structural geologists are reviewed.This volume will prove an invaluable resource for professors, instructors, and research students, as well as research scientists in the public services and exploration industries. If you are such a person, have you lectured with the aid of a gyroscopic mouse? Or used Bézier curves to model heterogeneous deformation? Or analyzed a fold structure using a digital terrain model? If not, you'll need to rush out and buy this book before the next wave of new technology hits!
Learn how to read, write and understand AutoCAD drawings with the help of this book. This complete guide teaches readers how to work with AutoLisp, VisualLisp, ObjectARX, VBA, and ObjectDBX. It suggests the best tool to use in various situations and includes case studies and sample code.
The first book on AutoCAD LT. The authors introduce new users to CAD concepts, and teach the commands, methods, and techniques needed for effective CAD drawing. The book uses well-illustrated tutorials with examples from a variety of design and drafting applications. The tutorials are supported by a disk which enables readers to follow along with the examples presented in the book.
