The AutoCAD Workbook 2004
 Electronic Instructor Guide
 By Philip D. Age & Ronald I. Sutliff

Welcome to our Electronic Instructor's Guide web page. The purpose of the electronic instructor’s guide is to support our AutoCAD Workbook 2004 and to exchange ideas.

In teaching AutoCAD over the years, we have used various approaches to teaching CAD and decided to settle on the format presented via the workbook. We think it is a very logical sequence for presenting AutoCAD.

We would like to encourage you to share your ideas for improving the workbook and/or expanding the electronic instructor’s guide. We would then have an opportunity to use your ideas in future editions.

For your convenience, We are providing links to the WinZip home page for a copy of WinZip to unzip our zipped files; the Adobe home page if you need to acquire a free copy of the Adobe Reader (needed to view our PDF files); e-mail addresses for both of us and our publisher, Ben Watts at Stipes Publishing; and a download area for our student templates and drawing files for the 2004 workbook.

Note: We have added the mechanical and architectural templates for your convenience. Starting on page 5-3 exercise EA 9-1 you can use the provided (downloadable mech.dwt template including the arch.dwt template when called for in the exercises).

	Adobe Acrobat Reader -  PDF files should be downloaded to your computer and then viewed and printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader software and instantly access my PDF files.
	WinZip - A very handy utility for manipulating 'Zip' files is a product called WinZip. Here is a link to the WinZip home page which contains the software as well as directions for purchasing and downloading the utility.
