If in the first heads support is done on the "archaic" receptions of work with the program, then on the pages sanctified to the твердотельному design, management possibilities are studied through her last novelties - "device panel", "window managers", etc.Large attention is spared to the user setting of interface and expansion of his possibilities. Written in a living and enthralling manner, a book allows to grasp possibilities of the last version of AutoCAD to both the man beginning an acquaintance with the program literally "from the ground up" and user, having an experience work with previous versions.Counted on the wide circle of readers.
