Post Description

AutoCAD Essentials is a multi-part series that takes a more modular approach to this massive program, used for everything from 2D and 3D CAD design, drafting, and modeling to architectural drawing and engineering projects. In this installment, author Jeff Bartels concentrates on the particulars of creating basic geometry in AutoCAD, including assigning imperial or metric units of measurement, using object snaps to control accuracy, and drawing and transforming basic lines and shapes. The last chapter in the course tests your newfound skills in a short project.
Topics include:

    Constructing lines
    Defining a unit of measure
    Locking to geometry with object snaps
    Drawing rectangles, circles, and polygons
    Applying hatch patterns
    Moving, copying, and rotating objects
    Erasing elements
    Undoing and redoing actions
