AutoCAD Level 2: Intermediate

AutoCAD®: Beyond the Basics course is designed for those using AutoCAD® with a Windows operating system. This learning guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac software. AutoCAD®: Beyond the Basics course continues on from the topics covered in the AutoCAD®9: Essentials class. 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.
