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 in AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT — which is quite a lot of content!

Part II starts with a discussion on drawing simple lines and curves. Then I explain how you can control the display of your drawings. Chapters 9 and 10 cover all the ways to edit an existing drawing.
