Up and Running with AutoCAD 2018: 2D Drafting and Design

Get Up and Running with AutoCAD using Gindis' combination of step-by-step instruction, examples, and insightful explanations. The emphasis from the beginning is on core concepts and practical application of AutoCAD in engineering, architecture, and design. Equally useful in instructor-led classroom training, self-study, or as a professional reference, the book is written with the user in mind by a long-time AutoCAD professional and instructor based on what works in the industry and the classroom. Up and Running with AutoCAD 2018 has been pared down to focus on 2D drafting and design, making it more appropriate for a one-semester course and for how today's instructors are teaching AutoCAD. Strips away complexities and reduces AutoCAD to easy-to-understand basic conceptsTeaches the essentials of operating AutoCAD first, immediately building student confidenceDocuments all basic commands step-by-step: what the student needs to type in and how AutoCAD responds is all spelled out in discrete and clear steps with screen shots added as neededIncludes new exercises and projects for the AutoCAD 2018 versionOffers online bonus content on AutoCAD 3D basics INDICE: LEVEL 1 Chapters 1-10 1.
