Section 1. Handle manipulation

Speed ​​up drawing and editing objects.
Using selected object handles and keyboard shortcuts, you can

Section 2. Mouse settings

Using the mouse, you can not only select tools (LMB), call the context menu (RMB)
and navigate (zoom/pan/orbit).

In this section you will learn how to move and copy objects, quickly create blocks,
export objects to another file using the mouse.

You will learn how to make PCM multifunctional.

Section 3. Temporary override

Learn to use different operating modes.
In addition to the function buttons (F3 – binding, F8 – ORTO), there are override modes.
They are more efficient for quick drawings.

Learn how to perform some non-standard tasks by creating custom
coordinate systems.

Learn how to use special anchors.

Section 4. Quick selection and object properties

Learn techniques for quickly selecting various objects using flexible criteria.
The skills you will gain are indispensable when calculating the volume of work,
creating estimates, specifications and statements.

Learn how to use selection to create temporary views
drawing for convenient work with large projects.

Section 5. Interfaces

Create and customize your own interface elements (tabs, panels, palettes, tools)
and useful macros.

Configure export/import of settings profile and quick panels
access for different workspaces.

Interface adaptation is indispensable in both personal and corporate work.

Learn how to quickly insert images and text into a drawing.

Section 7. Calculations

Introduce non-standard ways to use utilities - distance, area, volume.
Explore the use of fields to calculate areas and lengths.

Create area markers that automatically change as the site layout changes.
Apply Boolean operations to determine the total area of ​​objects.

Section 8. Blocks

Create "correct" dynamic blocks with different visibility options and linear values.
Fill them with hidden and visible attributes.

Such blocks will allow you to flexibly arrange
repeat elements into the drawing and prepare automatic specifications.

Tables created by the extraction method are automatically regenerated when the drawing is changed,
which helps to avoid mistakes and speed up design.

Section 9. Miscellaneous

This section contains 19 lessons on various topics: “Blocks from a buffer”, “FILEDIA”, “DWG converter”, “Aliases (_REINIT)”, “OI Command”, “Tracking”, “Custom Sheets”, “Recent Commands” and many more others.
