Starting with a tour of the interface, this video tutorial will ease you into AutoCAD 2012. You will review the installation procedure, explore the interface, and discover what's new in this latest version. From there, you jump into actually using AutoCAD to produce drawings. You will learn all the different shape tools - lines, circles, rectangles, etc. You will learn about AutoCAD's coordinate system, how to edit and delete objects, and how to take advantage of layers. You will use blocks, and discover dimensioning, and how to apply it to your projects. Finally, you will explore how to plot and publish your project.
With interactive projects at the end of each chapter, you will quickly learn to apply what you have been taught.
