Discription

This book is the most comprehensive book you will find on AutoCAD 2020 – 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 files to set up drawing exercises and projects and to see all of the book’s figures in color (Files also available for downloading from the publisher by emailing info@merclearning.com). AutoCAD 2020 Beginning and Intermediate includes over 100 “mini-workshops” that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting.
