Overview

The AutoCAD® 2019: Beyond the Basics course is designed for those using AutoCAD® 2019 with a Windows operating system. This learning guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac software.

The AutoCAD® 2019: Beyond the Basics guide continues on from the topics covered in the AutoCAD® 2019: Essentials guide. 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.

Objectives

You will learn such skills as:

  • Using more advanced editing and construction techniques.
  • Adding parametric constraints to objects.
  • Creating local and global blocks.
  • Setting up layers, styles, and templates.
  • Attaching External References.
