Summary
In this chapter, we learned about XRefs, which are great collaboration tools that are built into AutoCAD. Now, you are fully equipped to collaborate on projects using the External References feature. We also explored the dynamic block tool, which allowed us to add “intelligence” to our blocks. We used various parameters and actions to make complex dynamic blocks with several features baked into one single block. Finally, we learned how to fix broken drawings and clean bloated ones using tools such as AUDIT and PURGE.
From the next chapter onwards, we will start covering AutoCAD’s 3D tools. We will begin by looking at the 3D user interface and the common tools required to understand the workings of the 3D workspace of AutoCAD. Then, we will gradually learn about the drawing and modification tools of AutoCAD 3D.
