Turning to the World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is a great resource for selling or buying things, but it also hap-
pens to be a great place to get help on AutoCAD. The Internet is bursting with sites
that offer information on AutoCAD and help when you’re stuck. Chances are good that
you can use a popular search engine such as Google (
www.google.com) or Yahoo!
(
www.yahoo.com) to find a solution to a problem that you might be having with
AutoCAD. If you can’t find a solution to your problem using a search engine, you can
use an online community site like AUGI (
www.augi.com) or the online discussion
forums that Autodesk supports (
www.autodesk.com/discussion) to post your
problem and wait for someone to respond with a solution. In addition to these Web
sites, I list resources on the Internet in Chapter 23.
