Technical requirements
You will need a computer with either Windows or macOS to complete this chapter’s exercises. I will be using a Windows environment for these examples. Any version of AutoCAD will work, but it is recommended that you use the latest version so your software matches the examples as closely as possible. I will be using AutoCAD 2025 throughout this book, and you can refer to the following link to confirm your hardware requirements: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD.html?us_oa=dotcom-us&us_si=9b630dac-e4eb-4e94-b32d-01c1026e2a72&us_st=system%20requirements%20for%20autocad.
