self-study tutorial. * Includes 30 lessons with step by step
instructions followed by exercises designed for practicing the
commands learned within the lesson. * Each lesson starts very
simple and progresses to more complex. * The approach taken is to
familiarize users with the drawing commands first, and then teach
users to create their own setup drawings. Each lesson is explained
clearly and in a non-intimidating manner.
The AdvancedAutoCAD (R) 2018 Exercise Workbook has been helping
students, teachers, architects, designers and manufacturers to
truly master the software for more than two decades. And now this
work is better than ever, with the inclusion of both inch and
metric measurements side-by-side. The 2018 version of the software
boasts the new feature of being able to import SHX fonts when
importing documents into AutoCAD (R). With past versions, you could
only import SHX fonts as objects that were included in the PDF,
which meant that users could not alter the text in any way. In this
2018 version of the software, the text will be fully editable - the
same as TrueType text and fonts. That's a tremendous advantage for
architects and designers, who use SHX fonts extensively in their
drawings. These new features will be explained and thoroughly
illustrated so they can be combined with existing AutoCAD (R)
options, and users can maximize the full power of this versatile
software. Written by Cheryl Shrock and Steve Heather, two
bestselling authors and official Beta Testers of AutoCAD (R)
software, this is an invaluable resource for the thousands of
students, designers, architects, and manufacturers who are just
learning AutoCAD (R), or getting up to speed with the latest
version of the software. The ability to import SHX fonts when
importing a PDF document into AutoCAD. The ability to convert
single rows of text into paragraphs. All exercises will include
metric equivalents alongside the original imperial (inch)
measurements. Additional new features just being released by
AutoCAD to beta testers. To download a file containing the supplied
preset drawings mentioned and used in this book click here. This is
