Advanced Autocad(r) 2015 Exercise Workbook

This is the right book for users if they liked the author's "Beginning AutoCAD" workbook, or they're looking for a clear, no nonsense, easy-to-follow text, or they want to learn more about AutoCAD such as Xref, Attributes, and 3D solids. Totally updated for AutoCAD 2015 and 2015 LT, it offers several new and improved features. All exercises print easily on a standard 8 1/2" x 11" printer. For use with the PC version of AutoCAD 2015 only.

NEW FEATURES

• The ability to capture, embed and plot maps with Geographic Location

• Dark color interface which includes the Ribbon, Status Bar and Palettes. This contrasts with the dark model space and reduces eye strain.

IMPROVED FEATURES

• Reorganized View Ribbon making it easier to control the visibility of the UCS Icon, Navigation Bar, ViewCube and Layout Tabs.

• Improved graphics with Line Smoothing.
