AutoCAD 2002 introduces dimensions based on the true geometry of the objects to which they belong. In this tutorial you`ll learn how to use three new commands and an updated system variable that can help you work with them. Although the improvements are mostly transparent to you as you work, you should find that the new AutoCAD 2002 dimensions adjust more accurately when you edit your objects.

Receiving drawings from outside (or even from others within your own company) can be a wee bit aggravating sometimes. This month covers the Reference option in the Scale and Rotate commands that might give you a bit more leverage in your productivity.
