Preface INTRODUCTION TO AUTOCAD® 2017 2D AND 3D DESIGN:
AutoCAD 2017 is designed to work in a Windows operating system. In general, to open AutoCAD 2017 double-click on the AutoCAD shortcut in the Windows desktop (Fig. 1.1).
When working in education or in industry, computers may be confi gured to allow other methods of opening AutoCAD, such as a list appearing on the computer in use when the computer is
switched on, from which the operator can select the program he/she wishes to use.
When AutoCAD 2017 is opened, the Start page appears, giving access to recent drawings, system information and the Start Drawing nbutton (Fig. 1.2). After starting a new drawing a new window is
shown, depending upon whether a 3D Basics, a 3D Modeling, or a Drafting & Annotation workspace has been set as QNEW (in the Options dialog). In this example, the Drafting & Annotation workspace is shown and includes the Ribbon with Tool panels (Fig. 1.3).
Menu Browser icon: A left-click on the arrow to the right of the A symbol at the top left-hand corner of the AutoCAD 2017 window causes the Menu Browser menu to appear (Fig. 1.4).
Workspaces Switching menu: appears with a click on the Workshop Switching button in the status bar (Fig. 1.5). Command line: can be changed as shown in Fig 1.6.
Tool panels: each includes tool icons appropriate to the panel. Taking the Home/Draw panel as an example, Fig. 1.7 shows that placing the mouse cursor on one of the tool icons in a panel brings a tooltip on screen showing details of how the tool can be used. Two types of tooltip can be used in AutoCAD 2017.
