    The primary goal of AutoCAD 2019 Tutorial First Level 2D Fundamentals is to introduce the aspects of Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD). This text is intended to be used as a training guide for students and professionals. This text covers AutoCAD 2019 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 eleven tutorial style lessons designed to introduce beginning CAD users to AutoCAD 2019. 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.
