You can avoid this kind of 'mistake' by learning properly from the beginning.
The first chapter of this book covers the entire process of drawing a drawing, from line drawing to printing, for those who are learning AutoCAD for the first time.
We'll teach you everything from grid drawing, floor plans, and solving dimension problems to five AutoCAD AI features, all based on our extensive practical experience. You'll be able to draw drawings in just six days!

The drawings drawn by construction companies and design offices!
Learn with drawings that can be used in practice right now!


The author of this book has worked for hundreds of practitioners, both at design firms and as a technical support team member at DowData, an Autodesk technical support company.
This book was created based on the drawing data and practical situation data collected during the process.
You can learn all the functions and practice problems with drawings that are actually used, so you can train while experiencing 'real-world situations' in advance.


"Secrets of CAD Experts," which contains the know-how of Autodesk's technical support team, also received praise from many readers.
