Also useful in the classroom instructor-led training or self-study, this book was written with students in mind by long time users of AutoCAD and instructors, based on what worked in the industry and the classroom. Strips away the complexity, both real and perceived, and reduce AutoCAD to easily understand the basic concept. Explaining "why" something that is done, not just "how": the theory behind every concept or discussed prior to engaging AutoCAD commands, so students have a clear idea of what they are trying to do. All basic commands are documented step-by-step: what kind and how students respond to AutoCAD spelled in discrete steps and clear with screen shots a lot. Also available in a comprehensive volume that includes coverage of the 3D drawing and modeling in AutoCAD.
