it's time to see if you were paying attention in the first
lesson. In this lesson you will complete the drawing that will
test your knowledge of drawing accurately using different types
of precision input. Clients expect 100% accurate drawings from YOU. It is up to the YOU to ensure that YOU have the ability to draw quickly and accurately. There is a lot of room for error when drafting, as you need to read accurately, transfer the numbers to AutoCAD accurately, and draw accurately. It is the job of this exercise to help you learn to draw accurately - speed will come only through practice.
