  Creating Electronic Output

Part V is all about how to manage drawings. In Chapter 26, I discuss ways to keep control of your drawings, including features such as the DesignCenter, tool palettes, and the Communication Center. I also explain how to set and maintain standards, keep track of your drawings, handle errors and crashes, and work with prior AutoCAD releases. Finally, I thoroughly cover how to organize your drawings into sheet sets.

Chapter 27 explains how to interface with other applications and file formats, including raster (bitmap) images. Finally, Chapter 28 covers how to create electronic output, including placing your drawings on the Internet, using hyperlinks, and using the DWF and DWFx file formats.
