AutoCAD: Beyond the Basics

The objective of AutoCAD: Beyond the Basics is to enable you to create, modify, and work with a 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software.

AutoCAD: Beyond the Basics continues from the topics covered in AutoCAD: Essentials. It covers more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the software. For example, here you go beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template, creating annotation styles, and how to work with external references.
