Use the companion files to set up drawing exercises and projects and to see all of the book’s figures in color (Files also available for downloading from the publisher by emailing [e-mail]). AutoCAD 2020 Beginning and Intermediate includes over 100 “mini-workshops” that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting.
