AutoCAD 2013 Beginning and Intermediate

by Munir Hamad

Overview

Unlike many AutoCAD competitors, this book covers only the basics and uses “mixed units” - inches, meters, feet, kilometers, etc., to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Use the DVD to set up drawing exercises and projects, see all of the book’s figures in color, and draw with AutoCAD 2013. AutoCAD 2013 Beginning and Intermediate includes 50 exercises or “mini-workshops,” that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation of two full projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2013.
