What's New Inside AutoCAD 2012
About the Book
The Essential Reference to AutoCAD 2012 Features
With each release of AutoCAD, Autodesk adds powerful features to improve your efficiency, implements enhancements to existing tools, and also deletes (or disables) commands, system variables, and features that you’ve been using since the last release. How do you determine the relevance of the changes, which of the new features to implement, and how to work around (or ignore) those that aren’t worth your effort?
What’s New Inside AutoCAD 2012 is the indispensable and concise guide for CAD designers upgrading from previous versions of AutoCAD. This book isn’t a hand-holding tutorial for the inexperienced; it is a time-saving and authoritative reference for the productive, working CAD professional.
If you want to get the most out of AutoCAD 2012, What’s New Inside AutoCAD 2012 offers you the fastest upgrade path to the 2012 release.
