• Provides English and metric units in examples, exercises, projects, and descriptions.
• Explains all first- and second-level commands, including blocks, text, hatching, dimensioning, and plotting, and progresses to the most important advanced block techniques, sheet sets, parametric constraints, and more.

• Instructor's resources includes Microsoft® PowerPoint® slides and solutions to projects and exercises.

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 color, and draw with a trial version of AutoCAD 2010.
