This course provides AutoCAD 2005 software users that are transitioning to AutoCAD 2008 an in-depth understanding of the new and enhanced features offered in AutoCAD 2006, 2007, and 2008. Learn how to improve 2D drafting productivity by using the new 2D Drafting and Annotations workspace including the Dashboard and Dynamic Input. Also learn how to increase productivity with the new drawing annotation functionality including annotation scales, Multileaders, as well as text, hatch, and dimensioning enhancements.
Many new layer tools are covered along with the updated Layer Properties Manager for easier layer control. Several small but powerful updates make setting up layouts and plotting much simpler. Learn how to use and create Dynamic Blocks that revolutionize the way blocks work as well as manage drawing, image, DWF, and DGN references in the new External References palette.
