This book is the most comprehensive book you will find on AutoCAD 2021 – 2D Drafting. Covering all of the 2D concepts, it uses both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Use the companion files to set up drawing exercises and projects and to see all of the book’s figures in color (Files also available for downloading with Amazon order number by writing to the publisher at [email protected]).
