       About this Workbook

      This workbook is designed to follow the Beginning AutoCAD 2016, Exercise Workbook, it is excellent for classroom instruction or self-study. There are 22 lessons and 3 on-the-job type projects in Architectural, Electro-Mechanical and Mechanical.

      Lessons 1 thru 14 continue your education in basic 2D commands.

      Lessons 15 thru 22 introduce you to many basic 3D commands.

      Each lesson starts with step-by-step instructions followed by exercises designed for practicing the commands you learned within that lesson. The on-the-job projects are designed to give you more practice in your desired field of drafting.

       AutoCAD 2016 vs. AutoCAD LT 2016

      The LT version of AutoCAD has approximately 80 percent of the capabilities of the full version. It was originally created to be installed on the small hard drives that Laptops used to have. Hence, the name LT. (LT does not mean “Lite”) In order to reduce the size of the program AutoCAD removed some of the high-end capabilities, such as Solid Modeling. As a result, some of the commands may not be available to LT users. Consider this an opportunity to see the commands that you are missing and you can determine if you feel it necessary to upgrade.

       Note: If you have already configured your system for the 2016 “Beginning” Workbook you may skip to Lesson 1.

      AutoCAD ® allows you to customize it’s configuration. While you are using this workbook it is necessary for you to make some simple changes to your configuration so our configurations are the same. This will ensure that the commands and exercises work as expected. The following instructions will guide you through those changes.

      1. Start AutoCAD®

      a. To start AutoCAD, follow the instructions on pages 1-2 through to 1-4. Then return to this page and go to step 2.

      2.

      a. Type: options anywhere within the main drawing area then press the <enter> key. (not case sensitive)

      b. Type: options on the Command Line then press the <enter> key. (not case sensitive)

       The text that you type will appear in the Dynamic Input box or on the Command Line, as shown below:

       NOTE:

       AUTOCAD LT USERS:

      You may find that some of the settings appear slightly different.

      But they are mostly the same.
