Part II. Drawing in Two Dimensions

IN THIS PART

Now that you have the basics under your belt, it's time to draw! This part contains all the basic information you need for two-dimensional drawing and design — which is quite a lot of content!

In Part II, you learn techniques for basic two-dimensional drawing and editing in AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. After I discuss drawing simple lines and curves, I explain how you can control the display of your drawings. You can also find chapters on creating text, drawing dimensions, and creating dimension styles. Separate chapters cover how you can obtain information from your drawing, and how to draw complex objects. Part II winds down with a chapter on plotting and printing.
