About this ebook

The AutoCAD 2025 Beginning and Intermediate (2024, Mercury Learning and Information) by Munir Hamad provides comprehensive coverage of 2D Drafting concepts across 26 structured chapters. [1, 2]

The curriculum utilizes both metric and imperial units and guides learners through over 100 "mini-workshops" that construct three complete architectural and mechanical projects from concept to final print. [1]

Chronological Chapter Outline

AutoCAD 2025 Basics: Interface navigation (Application Menu, Quick Access Toolbar, Ribbon, Status Bar) and starting a drawing.
Precise Drafting in AutoCAD 2025: Grid and snap settings, coordinate input, and fundamental drafting aids.
Modifying Commands Part 1: Basic target selection modes (Window, Crossing, Lasso, Fence) and initial editing tools.
Modifying Commands Part 2: Advanced drawing modification, duplicating, and geometry transformation tools.
Layers and Inquiry Commands: Creating/managing drawing layers, line types, and utilizing measuring utilities (distance, area, radius).
Blocks and Hatches: Defining local symbols (Blocks) and applying geometric patterns or gradients (Hatches).
Writing Text: Creating single-line and multiline annotations, text styles, and text editing.
Dimensions: Applying linear, angular, radial, and coordinate measurement annotations.
Plotting: Layout space configurations, viewports, page setups, and exporting layouts to paper or digital print format.
Projects: Execution of integrated case studies (architectural and mechanical blueprints) from the ground up.
More on 2D Objects: Complex geometry creation such as polylines, splines, ellipses, and specialized shapes.
Advanced Practices − Part 1
Advanced Practices − Part 2
Advanced Practices − Part 3
Table Styles: Formatting data matrices, styles, and applying structural formulas within AutoCAD tables.
Dimension & Multileader Styles: Customizing advanced leader pointers, arrows, alignments, and dimension sub-styles.
Plot Style, Annotative, and Exporting: Working with scale-dependent (Annotative) text/dimensions and color-dependent plot configurations (CTB/STB files).
How to Create a Template File and Interface Customization: Building standard .dwt seed profiles and modifying user interfaces.
Parametric Constraints: Setting up geometric and dimensional rules to force structural relationships between lines and shapes.
Dynamic Blocks: Injecting intelligence into blocks with parameters and actions (stretching, visibility, flipping).
Block Attributes: Extracting text metadata, tags, and automated scheduling properties embedded in definitions.
External Referencing (XREF): Linking external project blueprints contextually into a host file for collaborative multi-layered drafting workflows.
Sheet Sets: Managing multi-page drawing layouts, title block properties, and publishing packets systematically.
CAD Standards and Advanced Layers: Automating auditing rules to enforce organizational drafting compliance and layer filtering.
Importing PDF Files, Design Views, AutoCAD Web / Mobile App: Translating vector paths from PDF outputs into native CAD items, sharing designs via cloud viewers, and cloud editing.
Drawing Compare: Utilizing the revision tool overlay to flag visual disparities and modification histories between file versions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
