About this ebook

Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2021 provides a step-by-step introduction to AutoCAD with commands presented in the context of each tutorial. In fifteen clear and comprehensive chapters, author Shawna Lockhart guides you through all the important commands and techniques in AutoCAD 2021, from 2D drawing to solid modeling and finally finishing with rendering. In each lesson, the author provides step-by-step instructions with frequent illustrations showing exactly what appears on the AutoCAD screen. Later, individual steps are no longer provided, and you are asked to apply what you've learned by completing sequences on your own. A carefully developed pedagogy reinforces this cumulative-learning approach and supports you in becoming a skilled AutoCAD user.


Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2021 begins with three Getting Started chapters that include information to get readers of all levels prepared for the tutorials. The author includes tips that offer suggestions and warnings as you progress through the tutorials. Key Terms and Key Commands are listed at the end of each chapter to recap important topics and commands learned in each tutorial. Also, a glossary of terms and Commands Summary list the key commands used in the tutorials. Each chapter concludes with end of chapter problems providing challenges to a range of abilities in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering as well as architectural problems.

The page layout of this book is not designed well, with too much white space (margin) at the top of the pages so that the bottom text runs off the screen. If I use the scroll wheel it tries to go to a new page rather than roll up the cut off text. I can use the mouse to go to the scroll bar and click to drag it but then it drops down again each time I turn the page. Reducing the text size to fit it all on the screen makes it too small to read comfortably. This book doesn't seem to be designed well for e-reading, which I would think would be the primary focus of a tutorial guide for a desktop application. I have a similar other tutorial e-books that work as they should so I know it isn't my desktop or browser settings.
