Unlike many AutoCAD competitors, this book covers all of the basics of Level 1 and Level 2 AutoCAD concepts. It uses "mixed units" e.g., inches, meters, feet, kilometers, etc., to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Use the DVD to set up all the drawing lessons and projects in the text, see all of the book's figures in colour, and draw with a trial version of AutoCAD 2010. This comprehensive edition includes 94 "workshops," that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation of a "real life" project from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2010.
