Ascent AutoCAD 2025 Essentials Learning Guide - Mixed Units for 2D/3D Design | Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners & Professionals | Perfect for Architecture, Engineering & Construction Projects

The AutoCAD® 2025: Essentials guide is designed for those using AutoCAD® 2025 with a Windows operating system. This guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac software.

The objective of AutoCAD 2025: Essentials is to enable you to create, modify, and work with a 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software.

This guide covers the essential core topics for working with the AutoCAD software. The guide begins with learning the basic tools for creating and editing 2D drawings. It then continues to explore the tools used to annotate drawings by adding text, hatching, dimensions, and tables. More advanced tools, such as working with blocks and setting up layouts, are introduced to improve your efficiency with the software. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the essential tools and concepts.
