Introduction

AutoCAD is a software phenomenon; its users far outnumber those of any other CAD system and its reach extends across the globe. AutoCAD has grown from a micro-curiosity to a full-fledged CAD system by any set of standards. AutoCAD also has grown from a relatively simple program to a large and complex one, but its size and complexity should not intimidate you. More than one million designers and drafters have learned to use AutoCAD with the help of Inside AutoCAD, the best-selling AutoCAD book for more than 14 years.
