It might not be useful for veterans, but I believe new users can make use of it. I like how they group the topics in this guide. From start, controlling views, annotate it, until they can print it. This guide was meant for new and occasional users to finish common 2D drawings.
In this material, Autodesk put 42 common tools for AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT users.
There is an interesting additional material: The hitchhiker’s Guide to AutoCAD.
If there is any update, we can download and install it like Service Pack.
I’ve seen other software provides html help files we can install locally on our computer.
I still don’t understand why Autodesk choose not to update offline help. However, offline help file is no longer updated. About offline versionĪutodesk still provide offline help ( as chm file) if you don’t want to access help over internet. Especially for us who has slow connection.
And even if we are connected, it need some time to open. One complaint left is we need to be connected to internet to use it. You can also view online help on your internet browser here. How you can access online help file? By pressing F1 when you use AutoCAD, for sure. There are some compliments from AutoCAD users, like Steve Johnson on CAD Nauseam blog here. If you don’t like how AutoCAD online help was, you should try it now. About the Hitchhiker’s Guide to AutoCADĪutodesk has updated AutoCAD 2013 online help.
