This book is the most comprehensive book you will find on AutoCAD 2021 – 2D Drafting. Covering all of the 2D concepts, it uses both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Use the companion disc to set up drawing exercises and projects and see all of the book’s figures in color. AutoCAD 2021 Beginning and Intermediate includes over 100 exercises or “mini-workshops,” that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation of three projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2021.

FEATURES:

  • Covers only the basics and uses both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad tools for this popular application
  • CD can be used to set up in-text drawing exercises and projects and to see the book’s figures in color
  • Helps you to prepare for the AutoCAD Certified Professional exam

"Autocad learners who want some manuals on the 2021 program have two new books by M. Hamad to choose from. The weightier primer AutoCAD 2021: Beginning and Intermediate  is an all-in-one, comprehensive reference that covers all of the 2D concepts, and is designed for both self study and classroom assignments for newcomers to CAD drawing. Each chapter discusses different functions and applications, pairing overviews with workshops and projects that help reinforce user learning. Black and white screen shots, step-by-step instructions on using AutoCAD 2021 in different sample projects, and three full projects for architectural and mechanical designs make for a solid survey that leaves nothing to wonder."
