AutoCAD 2006 Tutorial - First Level: 2D Fundamentals

This textbook contains a series of ten tutorial style lessons designed to introduce students to AutoCAD 2006. The new improvements and key enhancements of the software are incorporated into the lessons. Students will learn to use the AutoCAD Heads-up DesignTM interface, which means the students will learn to focus on the design, not on the keyboard.

MultiMedia CD

This CD will change the way you teach CAD!

Each book comes bundled with a CD presenting a multimedia version of the tutorial exercises contained in the book. Students see the AutoCAD 2006 interface, menu picks, and models that are created while a voice overlay explains the design activities.

AutoCAD 2006 is not required to run the CD. Students, while at home, will become acquainted with the AutoCAD interface and design process.
