Staying Informed with the Communication Center
Nearly every major Windows program is somehow linked to the Internet to offer the latest news
and updates for software. AutoCAD provides the Communication Center, which appears as a sat-
ellite dish icon in the lower-right corner of the AutoCAD window. You might see a balloon message
pointing to this icon telling you of some new feature or news regarding AutoCAD.
Click the Communication Center icon to open the Communication Center dialog box.
