Practical Autodesk AutoCAD 2021 and AutoCAD LT 2021, 1st Edition, is a beginner's guide to drafting and spatial modeling. It introduces foundational CAD concepts by examining the software interface and basic shape construction before advancing toward complex design workflows.
The volume covers drawing organization through layers, dynamic blocks, and groups, while introducing dimensioning, annotations, and parametric drawing methods. It also explains how to convert two-dimensional plans into three-dimensional models and configure drawing layouts.
Requiring no prior background in CAD, the book is designed for architects, mechanical engineers, design specialists, and construction or manufacturing personnel. Practical exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce drafting concepts and operational techniques.
