In this Learning Autodesk AutoCAD 2016 training course, expert author Brian Benton will teach you how to create 2D drawings using the latest version of this computer aided design software from Autodesk. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no experience with AutoCAD is required.
You will start by learning about the new features in AutoCAD 2016, then jump into learning about the AutoCAD interface. From there, Brian will teach you basic operations, such as how to quit AutoCAD, work with the coordinate system, and use the grid system.
