FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography "Mark Dix" began working with AutoCAD in 1985 as a programmer for CAD Support Associates Inc. He helped design a system for creating estimates and bills of material directly from AutoCAD drawing databases for use in the automated conveyor industry. This system became the basis for systems still widely in use today. In 1986, he began collaborating with Paul Riley to create AutoCAD training materials, combining Rileys background in industrial design and training with Dixs background in writing, curriculum development, and programming.
