About the Authors
David Byrnes
is one of those grizzled old-timers you’ll find mentioned every
so often in
AutoCAD 2013 For Dummies.
He began his drafting career on the
boards in 1979, and first learned AutoCAD with version 1.4. Dave is based in
Vancouver, British Columbia, where he works as a civil/structural drafter. He
taught AutoCAD for fifteen years at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and
British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver. Dave has authored
or co-authored over a dozen AutoCAD books and was sole author of this title
from
AutoCAD 2008 For Dummies
to
AutoCAD 2012 For Dummies.
Bill Fane
is a recovering doorknob designer. He was a product engineer and
then product engineering manager for Weiser Lock in Vancouver, Canada for
27 years and holds 12 U.S. patents. He has been using AutoCAD for design
work since Version 2.17g (1986), and Inventor since version 1.0 beta (1996).
He is a retired professional engineer and an Autodesk Authorized Training
Center (ATC) certified instructor.
He began teaching mechanical design in 1996 at the British Columbia Institute
of Technology (BCIT) in Vancouver, including such courses as AutoCAD,
Mechanical Desktop, Inventor, SolidWorks, machine design, term projects,
manufacturing processes, and design procedures. He retired from this posi-
tion in 2008.
He has lectured on a wide range of AutoCAD and Inventor subjects at
Autodesk University since 1995 and at Destination Desktop since 2003. He is
the AUGI CAD Camp National Team instructor for the manufacturing track.
He has written over 220 “The Learning Curve” columns for
CADalyst
magazine
since 1986 and claims to be a close personal friend of Captain LearnCurve. He
also writes software product reviews for
CADalyst, Design Product News,
and
Machine Design.
He is an active member of the Vancouver AutoCAD Users
Society, “the world’s oldest and most dangerous.”
In his spare time he skis, water skis, windsurfs, scuba dives, sails a Hobie
Cat, rides an off-road motorcycle, drives his ’37 Rolls-Royce limousine, or his
wife’s ’89 Bentley Turbo R, travels extensively with his wife, and plays with
his grandchildren.
