Using AutoCAD

So, now you have used a "big boy toy", a program that is the same kind used by companies to create drawings and animations. Not easy is it. This program is extremely complicated because it does so many things. Every time you click on something it thinks you are trying to do a different task (something you are not used to), so you can't just click in the general area you have to be exactly where you want to be.
Over the next three weeks you are going to learn how to not just draw parts (objects) but how to have the program put them together in an assembly. That's what you do with the pegboard toy.
After you get that under your belt you will design the air dragster that you will build in April!
How did you do learning how to do your extrusions and cuts on the cube?
