Hitchhiker’s Guide to AutoCAD® Basics

Featuring: AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT

The Hitchhiker’s guide is a great place to get started if you just completed your initial AutoCAD training, or to refresh your memory if you use AutoCAD only occasionally.

Since the guide focuses on the most essential tools for 2D drafting and design, what you learn applies to both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. The included commands are grouped together according to types of activity, and are arranged to follow a general workflow. Topics include viewing, precision, and printing -- just to name a few.
