Learn AutoCAD 2027 efficiently through structured lessons, AI-powered tools, and hands-on drafting practice.

Designed for introductory AutoCAD users, Discovering AutoCAD 2027 presents a hands-on, activity-based approach to using AutoCAD as a drafting tool, complete with techniques, tips, shortcuts, and insights that improve efficiency. Topics and tasks are carefully grouped to guide students logically through the AutoCAD command set, with the level of difficulty increasing as skills are developed through experience and practice. Straightforward explanations focus on actual drawing procedures, while detailed illustrations show students what to expect on screen. Updated for AutoCAD 2027, this edition includes projects and test questions for each chapter.

Updated for AutoCAD 2027, including the latest features, AI-powered smart tools, and enhanced collaboration capabilities.
Lessons are broken into tasks listed at the beginning of each section, introducing AutoCAD commands through a structured, intuitive approach.
General Procedure boxes provide simple, step-by-step overviews as new commands are introduced.
Detailed graphics demonstrate what students should expect to see on screen and support self-paced study.
End-of-chapter drawing problems help students apply new techniques to realistic situations, with drawing suggestions, timesaving tips, and practical explanations.
Large, clearly dimensioned working drawings accompany the problems and include mechanical, architectural, civil, and electrical examples.
End-of-chapter review questions help students test their knowledge.

Discovering AutoCAD 2027 is a practical resource for students building drafting skills through guided instruction and real-world drawing practice.

Mer om författaren

Mark Dix began working with AutoCAD in 1985 as a programmer for CAD Support Associates Inc. He helped design a system for creating estimates and bills of material directly from AutoCAD drawing databases for use in the automated conveyor industry. This system became the basis for systems still widely in use today. In 1986, he began collaborating with Paul Riley to create AutoCAD training materials, combining Riley’s background in industrial design and training with Dix’s background in writing, curriculum development, and programming. Dix and Riley have created tutorial teaching methods for every AutoCAD release since version 2.5. Dix has a Master of Arts in Teaching from Cornell University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Massachusetts. Paul Riley has been an instructor and designer specializing in graphics and multimedia design. He is a founding partner of CAD Support Associates, a contract service and professional training organization for computer-aided design. His 15 years of business experience and 20 years of teaching experience are supported by degrees in education and computer science. Paul has taught AutoCAD at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Mt. Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts. He developed Computer Aided Design for Professionals, a highly regarded program that has been successful for more than 15 years. KaDe King is a senior technical specialist with U.S. CAD, an Arkance Company. Her specialties include training in AutoCAD, Map 3D, and Civil 3D. She has been using AutoCAD since 1987 and has been a trainer since 1993. KaDe is an AutoCAD Certified Professional and an Autodesk Certified Instructor. She has received the Autodesk Instructor Quality Award and has presented at AU many times. Her experience includes real-world applications of AutoCAD in AEC, mapping, civil, and manufacturing industries. She enjoys helping class participants get the most from their training.
