Course Description
In this chapter you’ll learn about modifying objects in AutoCAD. You’ll first learn about object selections and the many methods for selecting objects. Once you’ve learned how to select all your objects you will then begin to learn of many of the commands in AutoCAD you can use to manipulate your objects. Erasing objects and undoing/redoing any mistakes will also be explained so that you can achieve desirable results when working with your drawing.
