This course introduces the new 2D features of AutoCAD 2010 for users of AutoCAD 2008. Among the many changes in this new release are the primary methods for selecting command tools which include the Quick Access Toolbar, the Ribbon, and the Application Menu.
There are many other enhancements to the interface, including new commands in the Status Bar, Quick Properties, and updated tooltips. The command for annotation scales has been updated in the Status Bar and the synchronization of the viewport scales and annotation scales has been enhanced. Additional updates have been made to styles for text, dimensions, and Multileaders, and new Measuring tools. Quick View Layouts and Quick View Drawings are new methods of accessing existing layouts in a drawing or currently open drawings, respectively. A major new feature is the introduction of geometric and dimensional constraints for 2D objects and dynamic blocks.
There are several updates to publishing, including a streamlined Batch Plot/Publish dialog box and the opportunity to plot, publish, or export to PDF files. Reference File tools have been streamlined and include contextual Ribbon tabs that give you quick access to the appropriate tools for the selected reference file. PDF files can be brought in as underlays.
There are also several updates to customization tools.
