AutoCAD - The Ultimate Beginner's Guide

With this object-oriented introduction, you will gain a feel for the program itself, for technical drawing with the electronic drafting board, and for the three dimensions that surround us, ultimately leading you to the implementation of the engaging practice projects in the book through numerous exercises. Prior knowledge of AutoCAD is helpful but not required.

You will learn:

• The right setup: installation and configuration, optimization and file management, user customization, and drawing sets
• Good practices: drawing aids and techniques
• Setting measures and goals: bringing truly standard-compliant designs to the screen
• Printing: standard-compliant and scaled printing
• Keywords: DXFs for laser cutting and PCB exposure, plot styles, and plot templates
• Perfect orientation: understanding height, width, depth, and view control.
