Ascent AutoCAD 2022 Advanced Guide: Mastering Metric Units for Professional Engineering & Design | Digital eBook for Architects, Engineers & CAD Professionals

The AutoCAD® 2022: Beyond the Basics guide is designed for AutoCAD® 2022 software running on Windows. This guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac.

The objective of AutoCAD 2022: Beyond the Basics is to enable you to create, modify, and work with a 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software.

The AutoCAD® 2022: Beyond the Basics guide continues on from the topics covered in the AutoCAD® 2022: 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.

You 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

The AutoCAD® 2022: Beyond the Basics guide is not recommended for users that have completed the AutoCAD® 2022: Fundamentals guide, as content for Beyond the Basics is already covered in the Fundamentals course.
