AutoCAD®/AutoCAD LT® 2018 : Beyond the Basics continues on from the topics covered in the AutoCAD®/AutoCAD LT® 2018 : Essentials student guide. It covers more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the software. For example, here you go beyond the basic skill of inserting a block to learning how to create blocks, and beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template. You learn skills such as:
- Using more advanced editing and construction techniques
- Adding parametric constraints to objects
- Creating local and global blocks
- Setting up layers, styles, and templates
- Using advanced plotting and publishing options
The AutoCAD®/AutoCAD LT® 2018 : Beyond the Basics student guide is designed for those using the AutoCAD® or AutoCAD LT® 2018 software with a Windows operating system. This student guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac software.
