Introduction of AutoCAD Workbook for Architects and Engineers :

AutoCAD is a very popular, flexible software system that allows the user to create both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional models and drawings. This book offers a series of exercises to help you learn the 2 D drawing techniques of AutoCAD.

 Most of the 2 D commands in Releases 2006, 2007 and 2008 have not changed since Release 2000i. These exercises can be used on all releases from 2000 i through 2008. For those who are familiar with computers, learning AutoCAD will be easy, simply because you are aware of the typical response structure and the format of your system.

 System Prompts and User Responses All commands listed within the text of this book are in the command font. CIRCLE, LINE, ZOOM, MIRROR, etc. When shown as in this font are commands. Please note that the .J will not be shown at the end ofevery entry after Chapter 1; it will
only be used when the user should press .

Most ofthe drawings in this book are small, so a floppy disk may be used for file storage
if your computer still has a floppy drive. Zip drives, Jazz drives, mass storage units
and CD writers are better suited to storing larger files. Always make three copies of
your files.

 Save your file every half hour on the permanent computer drive, either C: or
D:. If you have been working for more than three hours, also save onto an external file
system like a flash drive. Before you sign offfrom the system, e-mail a copy of the file
to yourself as well.
