In fifteen clear and comprehensive chapters, author Shawna Lockhart guides you through all the important commands and techniques in AutoCAD 2023, 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 2023 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.Table of ContentsGetting Started: Preparing for the Tutorials Getting Started: AutoCAD Basics Getting Started: Studying for the AutoCAD Certification Exam 1.

The primary goal of AutoCAD 2023 Tutorial First Level 2D Fundamentals is to introduce the aspects of Computer Aided Design and Drafting. This text is intended to be used as a training guide for students and professionals. This text covers
AutoCAD 2023 and the lessons proceed in a pedagogical fashion to guide you from constructing basic shapes to making multiview drawings. This textbook contains a series of twelve tutorial style lessons designed to introduce beginning users to AutoCAD 2023. It takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important 2D CAD techniques and concepts. This text is also helpful to AutoCAD users upgrading from a previous release of the software. The new improvements and key
enhancements of the software are incorporated into the lessons. The 2D-CAD techniques and concepts discussed in this text are also designed to serve as the foundation to the more advanced parametric feature-based CAD packages such as Autodesk Inventor. The basic premise of this book is that the more designs you create using AutoCAD 2023, the better you learn the software. With this in mind, each lesson introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous lessons. This
book is intended to help readers establish a good basis for exploring and growing in the exciting field of Computer Aided Engineering. AutoCAD 2023 Certified User Examination The content of AutoCAD 2023 Tutorial First Level 2D Fundamentals covers the performance tasks that have been identified by Autodesk as being included on the AutoCAD 2023 Certified User Examination. Special reference guides show you where the performance tasks are covered in the book. What is the difference between AutoCAD 2022 and 2023?AutoCAD 2022 introduced tools to collaborate with others using Autodesk applications. Again, AutoCAD 2023 enhances those features. For example, the new Trace feature in AutoCAD 2022 provided a safe space to add changes to a drawing in the AutoCAD web or mobile app without altering the existing drawing.
Can I learn AutoCAD on my own?The best way to start learning AutoCAD on your own is to find an online course or tutorials that best suit your learning preferences and needs. For example, if you're dominantly a visual learner you may want to start with YouTube video tutorials or enroll an online course with lots of video materials.
Does AutoCAD 2023 have a new file format?DWG is the native drawing file format used to store blocks and 2D/3D designs created with AutoCAD-based products and the DWG format is updated every few years.
