Introduction ■ xiii
The datasets and exercises can be used with AutoCAD LT. The location of the files
will be the same whether you are using AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT. The name of the
shortcut for the online version of the exercises is named Learning AutoCAD 2010, but
can also be used with AutoCAD LT 2010.
Imperial and Metric Datasets
For some of the exercises that specify units of measurement, alternative exercise tables are provided.
You will see a note stating that an imperial and metric version are available. An example of the file
naming convention is as follows:
■ Open i_stair_settings.dwg (imperial) or m_stair_settings.dwg (metric).
In the exercise steps, you will see either the imperial or metric value as shown in the following
example:
■ For Length, enter 13'2".
■ For Length, enter 4038 mm.
For exercises with no specific units of measurement, files are provided as shown in the following
example:
■ Open c_stair_settings.dwg (common).
In the exercise steps, the unitless value is specified as shown in the following example:
■ For Length, enter 400.
