Exploring Annotative Objects
David Cohn explains the usage of annotative objects and how this can be applied to text, dimensions, blocks, attributes and patches. He shows how to create annotative objects in an existing drawing and a new drawing.
Autodesk
Using the Visual Fidelity Setting
David Cohn shows how, by using the Visual Fidelity setting, you can save your AutoCAD drawing so if you exchange it with someone using an earlier version of AutoCAD, you're annotative objects will be preserved.
Autodesk
Creating Dimensional Constraints
David Cohn shows how to create dimensional constraints. While the process is similar to creating a dimension, the ability to name the dimensional constraint allows AutoCAD to track it.
Autodesk
Applying Geometric Contraints
David Cohn walks you through applying geometric constraints using the Autoconstrain tool. This eliminates the need to apply constraints to individual objects, and allows you to apply them to multiple objects.
Autodesk
Changing a Variable for a Dimensional Constraint
The Parameters Manager lets you quickly change variables for a dimensional constraint in your design. David Cohn shows you how to use this tool to create relationships and manipulate the drawing by entering new values, which allows you to control the elements of your drawing.
Autodesk
Using the Camera Tool to Create a View
David Cohn shows you how to use the Camera tool to specify what is displayed in the view of your model. This includes setting the camera properties, and adding elements that create a photo-realistic display of a model.
Autodesk
Using the Data Extraction Wizard
The Data Extraction Wizard lets you extract information from your model and create a table with the data from your model. David Cohn explains how to use this helpful AutoCAD tool.
Autodesk
Applying Materials to Models
With its Materials Library, you can easily apply materials to objects in your models. David Cohn demonstrates how to choose and apply materials to an entire object or a portion of an object.
Autodesk
Creating Table Link Data
David Cohn shows you how to insert tables from external sources like an Excel Spreadsheet, creating links that will update when changes are made to the spreadsheet. He also explains how to link to the spreadsheet so changes made to the table in AutoCAD will be reflected in the spreadsheet as well.
Autodesk
Editing a Table
In a few simple steps, David Cohn explains how to edit or change a table in AutoCAD. this includes adding rows, changing or adding text, and using autofill. These timesaving tips will help you edit a table as quickly as a spreadsheet.
Autodesk
Working With Annotative Objects
David Cohn demonstrates how to use annotative objects, giving you helpful tips to avoid accidentally changing the view port, and giving you the ability to turn annotative objects on and off. He explores the settings and tools to control annotative objects to show exactly what you want to display.

Modifying a Table in AutoCAD
David Cohn demonstrates how to modify tables in AutoCAD, changing column or table width or breaking the table into different segments. This allows you to place and create tables in drawings exactly as you want them to look.
