    You can sue this way. If you're creating 2D drawings
    and 3D drawings. If you follow this way, you're saving
    a lot of time.

    The new way of creating CAD drawings is all about
    creating a 3D drawing first and then using that drawing
    to create your 2D drawing.

    In this course is explained how it is done. More. There
    is even explained how you can add dimensions to your 2D
    drawing.

    Let's make a good start. We start with creating a 3D
    drawing. It's going to be a simple drawing. But that
    doesn't matter.

    We open AutoCAD. We start with a new drawing. We draw a
    rectangle. The size of the rectangle is 200 by 100. And
    we draw a circle.

    The comes is drawn in the left side of the rectangle.
    The diameter of the circle is 100. It fits nicely in
    the rectangle.

    This is the base of the 3D drawing. Let's extrude the
    rectangle and the circle. We give them a height of 50.
    And a taper angel of zero.

    We now have two 3D objects. Let's make one 3D object.
    We use the UNION command. You know that command. You
    know what to do.

    To see the 3D model clearly we go to a 3D view of the
    drawing. Next we save the drawing. Give it the name 3D
    drawing.

    Why don't WE get a drunken monkey with a pencil in his teeth and see which
    one of YOU can draw his way out of a paper sack?

    ....or you could just use the BOX and CYLINDER commands, and skip all of the
    other stuff.

    So here M is once more, in the playground of the broken hearts ...
    I don't think you have to worry. Me, as a fellow Dutchman, is another story
