For those new to the world of AutoCAD®, as well as those honing longtime skills, there is simply no better resource on the market than the Beginning AutoCAD® 2019 Exercise Workbook. Industry-expert authors and Professors Cheryl Strock and Steve Heather introduce two novel features in AutoCAD 2019, including "Drawing Compare" and "Shared Views," both of which facilitate a greater capacity for colleagues and clients to share and comment upon changes and additions to drawings in real-time.  All of the game-changing features of AutoCAD 2018 are highlighted throughout this new Edition, most significantly the inclusion of both METRIC and INCH measurements side-by-side on all exercises as well as the phenomenal feature of SHX font importation during document upload, allowing for fully-editable text on PDF documents.
