Up and Running with AutoCAD 2020 uses a combination of step-by-step instruction, examples and insightful explanations to emphasize core concepts and practical application of AutoCAD in engineering, architecture, and design. Equally useful in instructor-led classroom training, self-study, or as a reference, the book is written with the user in mind by long-time professional AutoCAD instructors based on what works in the industry and the classroom. The book focuses on 2D drafting and design, making it more appropriate for a one-semester course.
- Strips away complexities and reduces learning AutoCAD to easy-to-understand concepts
- Teaches the essentials of AutoCAD first, immediately building student confidence
- Provides all basic commands documented step-by-step: What the student inputs and how AutoCAD responds is spelled out in discrete and clear steps with numerous screenshots
- Presents extensive supporting graphics and a summary with a self-test section and topic specific drawing exercises at the end of each chapter
- Covers the essentials of 2D AutoCAD, updated for the 2020 release
