About this audiobook
This is the most comprehensive book about AutoCAD 2025 – 2D drafting on the market. It is divided into three major parts: •Essentials: from Chapte r 1 to Chapter 10. It assumes that the reader has no previous experience in AutoCAD; hence it starts from scratch. Chapter 10 contains three projects – one architectural, and two mechanical using both Imperial and metric units. •Intermediate: from Chapter 11 to Chapter 18. It contains a deeper discussion on a subject we touched on in the Essentials part, or a new advance feature. •Advanced: from Chapter 19 to Chapter 26.
