AutoCAD Secrets Every User Should Know
This book isn’t release-specific, although AutoCAD 2007 is used throughout for the graphics. Many offices don’t upgrade immediately to new releases, and I understand why. Upgrades cost money and take time, and the law of unintended consequences often kicks in at exactly the wrong time. Most of the material in this book applies to any release of AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT. Where it doesn’t, I make that clear. The most obvious distinction occurs in Chapter 3, “Customizing AutoCAD’s Interface,” because of the introduction of the Customizable User Interface in AutoCAD 2006.
I wrote this book for two groups: experienced users with some gaps in their knowledge, and recent users who want to maximize their understanding of this complicated and multifaceted tool. The more familiar you are with AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT, the more this book will help you avoid common problems and produce work that is consistent, reliable, and accurate.
