In-Depth Information
These blocks, if found with a different file format, may be converted or im-
ported.
• All materials must be selected to know at least that all parts have different
materials. Distinct layers must be applied to all parts with different mater-
ials.
• Projects must be saved frequently in specific and organized folders.
Some backups or files that are currently in use must be maintained so
that the current model file can be recovered if it gets corrupted.
• Complex models should not be avoided. It's with challenging models that
we progress and learn how to extract the maximum from AutoCAD.
• External references (
xrefs
) may be considered in order to split complex
models.
• Free time can be used to create complex models; we may launch chal-
lenges to ourselves.
• The AutoCAD workspace can be customized. Instead of relying on the
ribbon, a more efficient and fast way to work is configuring shortcuts or
creating specific toolbars.
• The Internet, namely forums and blogs, are great sources of information
and must be consulted regularly. We learn a lot with others' questions and
comments; we may also ask for advice or support.
