Doing Things in Style


Much care has been taken to see that the stylistic conventions in this book ”the use of uppercase or lowercase letters , italic or boldface type, and so on ”will be the ones most likely to help you learn AutoCAD. On the whole, their effect should be subliminal . However, you might find it useful to be conscious of the following rules:

  • Pull-down menu selections are shown by a series of options separated by the   symbol (for example, choose File   New).

  • Keyboard entries are shown in boldface (for example, enter Rotate ).

  • Command-line prompts are shown in a monospaced font (for example, Select objects:).

For most functions, this book describes how to select options from toolbars and the menu bar. In addition, where applicable , I include related keyboard shortcuts and command names in parentheses. These command names provide continuity for readers accustomed to working at the command prompt.
