AutoCAD® 2027: Beyond the Basics continues from the topics covered in AutoCAD 2027: Essentials. It covers more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the software. For example, here you go beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template, creating annotation styles, and how to work with external references.
