CADTutor tutorials are all original and specifically designed to get you working with AutoCAD and other applications as knowledgeably as possible. We don't believe in providing only quick step-by-step tutorials like other sites. Our tutorials are comprehensive and aim to give you a deeper understanding and a better learning experience. See the AutoCAD tutorials page for more information.
If you can't see what you're looking for on this page, take a look at the list of all tutorials and don't forget that there's lots more content in the Michael's Corner section of the site.
We're always on the lookout for good content. If you have a tutorial or an article that you'd like to see published on CADTutor, get in touch using the contact form.
Basic 3D and Surface ModellingAlthough AutoCAD has a number of commands for creating special 3D objects, a lot can be achieved by changing the properties of basic 2D objects like polylines. This tutorial provides a basic introduction to creating and viewing 3D objects. |
3D Tree ExerciseThe object behind this exercise is twofold. Firstly it is to give you practice with some of the 3D techniques which you have discovered in the tutorials or to introduce you to them if you haven't seen them before. Secondly it is to demonstrate a reasonably simple method for constructing a convincing 3D tree. |

You can spell check one or more blocks of text using AutoCAD's in-built spell checker. Select SPELL at the command line. When prompted, select as many blocks of text as you like and then hit (Enter). What you get is the Check Spelling dialogue box, which works in exactly the same way as the spell checker in Microsoft Word.
