Autocad 2020 Fundamentals Metric Units Part 2

Note: This book is a continuation of AutoCAD(R) 2020: Fundamentals (Metric Units) - Part 1. Both books are required to complete the guide. The AutoCAD(R) 2020: Fundamentals guide is designed for those using AutoCAD(R) 2020 with a Windows operating system. This guide is not designed for the AutoCAD(R) for Mac software. The objective of AutoCAD(R) 2020: Fundamentals is to enable you to create, modify, and work with a 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software. Part 1 (chapters 1 to 20) covers the essential core topics for working with the AutoCAD software. The guide begins with learning the basic tools for creating and editing 2D drawings. It then continues to explore the tools used to annotate drawings by adding text, hatching, dimensions, and tables. More advanced tools, such as working with blocks and setting up layouts, are introduced to improve your efficiency with the software. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the essential tools and concepts, such as: Understanding the AutoCAD workspace and user interface Using basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools Organizing drawing objects on layers Using reusable symbols (blocks) Preparing a layout to be plotted Adding text, hatching, and dimensions Part 2 (chapters 21 to 32) continues with more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the software. For example, here you go beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template, creating annotation styles, and how to work with external references. You learn such skills as: Using more advanced editing and construction techniques Adding parametric constraints to objects Creating local and global blocks Setting up layers, styles, and templates Attaching External References Prerequisites Access to the 2020 version of the software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions. A working knowledge of basic design/drafting procedures and terminology. A working knowledge of your operating system.

Note: This learning guide is the second of a two-part series, with each guide sold separately. AutoCAD(R) 2021: Fundamentals - Part 2 guide is designed for AutoCAD(R) 2021 software running on Windows. This guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac. The objective of AutoCAD(R) 2021: Fundamentals - Part 2 is to enable you to create, modify, and work with a 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software. AutoCAD(R) 2021: Fundamentals - Part 2 guide continues on from the topics covered in the AutoCAD(R) 2021: Fundamentals - Part 1 guide. It covers more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the software. For example, here you go beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template, creating annotation styles, and how to work with external references. You learn such skills as: Using more advanced editing and construction techniques Adding parametric constraints to objects Creating local and global blocks Setting up layers, styles, and templates Attaching External References Prerequisites Access to the 2021.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide are not compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2020). A working knowledge of basic design/drafting procedures and terminology. A working knowledge of your operating system.

The Autodesk(R) Civil 3D(R) 2020: Fundamentals guide is designed for Civil Engineers and Surveyors who want to take advantage of the Autodesk(R) Civil 3D(R) software's interactive, dynamic design functionality. The Autodesk Civil 3D software permits the rapid development of alternatives through its model-based design tools. You will learn techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with points, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, create parcel layouts, perform grading and volume calculation tasks, and layout pipe networks. Topics Covered Learn the Autodesk Civil 3D 2020 user interface. Create and edit parcels and print parcel reports. Create points and point groups and work with survey figures. Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces. Create and edit alignments. Create data shortcuts. Create sites, profiles, and cross-sections. Create assemblies, corridors, and intersections. Create grading solutions. Create gravity fed and pressure pipe networks. Perform quantity takeoff and volume calculations. Use plan production tools to create plan and profile sheets. Prerequisites Access to the 2020 version of the software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions. Experience with AutoCAD(R) or AutoCAD-based products, and a sound understanding and knowledge of civil engineering terminology.
