If You Want to Experiment

 On the CD      Try opening and closing some of the sample drawing files on the accompanying CD:

1. Start AutoCAD by choosing Start   Programs   AutoCAD 2005   AutoCAD 2005.

2. Close the AutoCAD 2005 window and then choose File   Open .

3. Use the dialog box to open the Myfirst file again. Notice that the drawing appears on the screen with the grip enlarged. This is the view you had onscreen when you used the Save command in the earlier exercise.

4. Erase the crosshatch, as you did in the earlier exercise.

5. Choose File   Open again. This time, open the Dhouse file from the \Projects\Chapter 01 folder . The 3D Dhouse drawing opens.

6. Choose File   Exit. Notice that you exit AutoCAD without opening the Save Changes dialog box for the Dhouse drawing. This is because you didn't make any changes to the Dhouse file.
