AI Thread Summary
For re-learning AutoCAD 2004, users recommend "AutoCAD 2004: A Problem Solving Approach" by Sham Tickoo, which covers both basic and advanced 3D drawing techniques. Many find the changes in menus and functionalities from previous versions challenging, particularly in setting up a four-view system without disrupting the layout. Suggestions for additional resources include books that focus on practical applications and problem-solving in AutoCAD. The discussion emphasizes the need for updated learning materials to bridge the gap from older versions to 2004. Overall, the right book can significantly enhance understanding and proficiency in AutoCAD 2004.

I have had a couple of CAD classes, but that was 3 yr. ago using AutoCAD 14.
I have recently borrowed a copy of AutoCAD 2004 and i have noticed that, from what i can remember, a lot of the menues and where they lead have changed. My question is what are the better books for re-learning AutoCAD especially version 2004. May be even ones that would teach me something new. My biggest problem is remembering how to set up a 4 view system with a front, top, side, and an Iso. view without screwing up my boarder. But anyway, advice on books would be great.

I'd have to recommend Autocad 2004: A Problem Solving Approach by Sham Tickoo. I used that book in my Engineering Drawing class last year and it explains everything from the basics to advanced 3D drawing.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
