AutoCAD 2023: Essentials (Mixed Units): Autodesk Authorized Publisher
Book details
Summary
Description
The AutoCADĀ® 2023: Essentials guide is designed for those using AutoCADĀ® 2023 with a Windows operating system. This guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac software.
The objective of AutoCAD 2023: Essentials is to enable you to create, modify, and work with a 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software.
This guide covers the essential core topics for working with the AutoCAD software. The guide begins with learning the basic tools for creating and editing 2D drawings. It then continues to explore the tools used to annotate drawings by adding text, hatching, dimensions, and tables. More advanced tools, such as working with blocks and setting up layouts, are introduced to improve your efficiency with the software. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the essential tools and concepts, such as:
Understanding the AutoCAD workspace and user interface
Using basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools
Organizing drawing objects on layers
Using reusable symbols (blocks)
Preparing a layout to be plotted
Adding text, hatching, and dimensions
The AutoCAD 2023: Essentials guide is not recommended for users that have completed the AutoCAD 2023: Fundamentals guide, as content for Essentials is already covered in the Fundamentals course.
