The AutoCAD® 2025: Beyond the Basics guide is designed for those using AutoCAD® 2025 with a Windows operating system. This guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac software.
The objective of AutoCAD 2025: Beyond the Basics is to enable you to create, modify, and work with a 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software.
The AutoCAD® 2025: Beyond the Basics guide continues from the topics covered in the AutoCAD 2025: Essentials guide. 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.

• Using more advanced editing and construction techniques

• Creating local and global blocks
• Setting up layers, styles, and templates
