AutoCAD is a premier PC-based drafting tool that has been used by millions of engineers, draftsmen, project managers, and engineering students since its inception in 1982. AutoCAD 2011 Essentials provides new and seasoned users with simple step-by-step procedures on how to create, modify, annotate, and add dimension to any engineering drawing. Use the DVD to set up drawing exercises, view all of the book's figures in full color, and draw with a trial version of AutoCAD 2011. Fifty-five "workshops" throughout the book simulate a full real-world project from concept to completion, without overlooking any of the fundamental commands and functions of AutoCAD 2011.
