For courses in AutoCAD and Computer-Aided Drawing.

A Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2000 provides a step-by-step introduction to AutoCAD, with commands taught “in context.” Lockhart begins this book providing step-by-step instructions using commands and techniques. Later, individual steps are no longer provided, and readers are asked to apply what they have learned by completing sequences on their own. Carefully developed pedagogy reinforces the cumulative learning approach and supports readers in becoming skilled AutoCAD users.
