Preface

The book is about AutoCAD, which is a computer-aided 2D and 3D drafting software developed by Autodesk. If you are an engineering student, a drafter, or a design engineer, or if you just have great ideas and need a powerful drafting tool to bring them to life, then AutoCAD was designed for you. AutoCAD was the first CAD computer program ever created and is still the best 2D drafting tool on the market. In addition, it has a comprehensive and intuitive set of 3D modeling tools.

This book is written as a guide for you to explore the capabilities of AutoCAD, starting from scratch. We will look at the basic drawing tools and learn about the basic concepts. From there, we'll be moving gradually up to advanced drawing management, external references for working in groups, and 3D modeling.
