Cad Assignment 1: Autocad

This document provides an overview of the topics to be covered in an AutoCAD assignment, including learning the basic functions and commands in AutoCAD to create and edit 2D geometry. Students will learn how to use different coordinate input modes like absolute, relative, and polar to construct drawings of sample figures. The assignment criteria require labeling each printed drawing with information like the drawing number, name, and section number using uppercase text.
