Final Notes about AutoCAD®
AutoCAD® 3D Modeling
EXERCISE WORKBOOK
This Workbook is designed for classroom instruction or self-study and is suitable for both inch and metric users. There are 8 lessons and 4 modeling projects.
Each lesson starts with step-by-step instructions on how to create 3-dimensional (3D) solid models followed by exercises designed for practicing the commands you learned within that lesson. The modeling projects are designed so that you can create complex 3D models by combining many of the commands you learned within those lessons.
Downloadable sample files are provided to accompany some of the lessons and modeling projects.
How to get the supplied sample files?
The file “3d-modeling.zip” should be downloaded from our website:
http://new.industrialpress.com/ext/downloads/acad/3d-modeling.zip
Enter the address into your web browser and the download will start automatically.
Once the file has been downloaded you can unzip it to extract the sample files.
AutoCAD vs. AutoCAD LT
The LT version of AutoCAD has approximately 80 percent of the capabilities of the full version. It was originally created to be installed on the small hard drives that Laptops used to have. Hence, the name LT. (LT does not mean “Light”). In order to reduce the size of the program AutoCAD removed some of the high-end capabilities, such as Solid Modeling. As a result, AutoCAD LT is not suitable for this Workbook.

This Workbook was created using AutoCAD® 2017. You may have an earlier version. There are some cosmetic changes to the main interface but the commands are mostly the same. During some of the lessons you will be asked to start
