So I am just out of architecture school where we were encouraged to use Rhino as much as possible. After 4 years of pretty much using it exclusively, trying to use AutoCAD at my new job is excruciating. In my humble opinion, Rhino just is easier, quicker, and more user friendly than AutoCAD, but of course, AutoCAD and Revit are king in the professional world.
AutoCAD 2024 Instructor maintains the pedagogy and in-depth coverage that have always been the hallmark of the Leach texts. As the top-selling university textbook for more than a decade, the AutoCAD Instructor series continues to deliver broad coverage of AutoCAD in a structured, easy-to-comprehend manner.
The sequence of chapters starts with fundamental drawing commands and skills and then progresses to more elaborate procedures and specialized applications. The writing style introduces small pieces of information explained in simple form, and then builds on that knowledge to deliver more complex drawing strategies, requiring a synthesis of earlier concepts. Over 2000 figures illustrate the commands, features, and ideas.
AutoCAD 2024 Instructor is an ideal reference guide, unlike tutorial-oriented books where specific information is hard to relocate. Because these chapters focus on related commands, and complete coverage for each command is given in one place, the commands, procedures, and applications are easy to reference. Tabbed pages help locate tables, lists, appendices, and the comprehensive index.
Your purchase of AutoCAD 2024 Instructor includes two free exclusive bonus chapters and introductory videos that are available by redeeming the unique access code found on the inside of the front cover. These bonus chapters cover dynamic blocks and express tools.
This textbook includes access to videos that are designed to help you get started using some of the main tools in AutoCAD. Having instructions on how to use these tools in both written and video form helps reinforce and strengthen your understanding of these core tools. The videos are especially helpful to those who learn best from watching someone use AutoCAD and describe how the tools work.
These files are only available to customers who have registered their book with the unique access code that comes with the book and authenticated instructors. Ebook owners can send us a proof of purchase to gain access to these files. Visit our FAQ page for more information.

Rebis reports that they have released a major upgrade to the AutoPLANTPlant Design Workgroup, Rebis' AutoCAD based plant design and modelingsoftware. Included in this release is a complete revamp of the AutoPLANTstructural Workgroup, Rebis' object-oriented 3D steel modeling, detailing, andfabrication applications. This release supports AutoCAD R14, 2000, 2000i, andAutoCAD 2000i based vertical applications such as Autodesk's ArchitecturalDesktop Release 2i.
AutoPLANT Plant Design Workgroup Version 2.0 is said to include severalvaluable enhancements developed specifically to address the different designrequirements in various industries. Rebis has also released a new 2D pipingdrafting application, AutoPLANT 2D Piping, as part of Plant Design WorkgroupV2.0. AutoPLANT 2D Piping is described as a powerful and easy-to-use solutionthat produces production-quality drawings and runs on top of AutoCAD R14, 2000,and 2000i. The system is said to be designed for rapid layout of 2D piping plansand sections, and utilises the same powerful underlying technology as in Rebis'full-featured AutoPLANT 3D piping design application.
Other enhancements in AutoPLANT Plant Design Workgroup Version 2.0 include anupgraded pipe support library, Autodesk Architectural Desktop support,additional piping components, new types of equipment. and the addition of newassociative and regular equipment primitives.
