FiGuRE 1.1 The Welcome Screen featuring videos and links to help you get started with
AutoCAD
After exploring the Welcome Screen, you may prefer to disable it from automati-
cally loading each time you start the software. This can be done by deselecting
the check box labeled Show This Dialog At Startup in the lower-left corner of the
Welcome Screen. Even after choosing this option, you can still access the Welcome
Screen through the Help button on the right end of the AutoCAD title bar.
Exploring the new Features Workshop
Among the options found on the Welcome Screen when AutoCAD first opens is a
What's New link (see Figure 1.1 earlier). This link leads you to the New Features
Workshop (Figure 1.2), where you can quickly learn how AutoCAD 2011 has improved
over the last several releases and which tools you can use to augment any skills you
already have. In addition to the Welcome Screen, you can also find the New Features
Workshop through the Help button on the right end of the AutoCAD title bar.
The New Features Workshop is split in two; an index of topics (new features)
is listed along the left side of the interface, which is complemented by a pane
displaying information about a selected topic on the right (see Figure 1.2). The
drop-down list in the upper-left corner provides access to the New Features
Workshops for other Autodesk products installed on your system.
