Chapter 2: Creating Your First Drawing


Overview

This chapter examines some of AutoCAD's basic functions. You will get a chance to practice with the drawing editor by building a simple drawing to use in later exercises. You'll learn how to give input to AutoCAD, interpret prompts, and get help when you need it. This chapter also covers the use of coordinate systems to give AutoCAD exact measurements for objects. You'll see how to select objects you've drawn and how to specify base points for moving and copying.

If you're not a beginning AutoCAD user , you might want to move on to the more complex material in Chapter 3. You can use the files supplied on the companion CD to continue the tutorials at that point.
