Finding Additional Sources of Help
The Help window is the main source for reference material, but you can also find answers
to your questions through the other options in the Help menu. Here is a brief description
of the other Help menu options in the Menu Browser:
Info Palette (AutoCAD 2009 LT only) A pop-up window that offers immediate help with
the command you are using. It’s helpful for first-time users. When you issue a command
with the Info palette open, you will see an option or a list of options in the palette. These
options offer a brief tutorial or other information about the current command.
New Features Workshop Descriptions and tutorials focused on the new features found in
AutoCAD 2009. You can update this unique support tool through the Autodesk website.
Additional Resources On-line help from Autodesk’s web site including a support knowl-
edge base, online training resources, and the developer center. There is also a link to the
Autodesk User Group International web site.
About Information about the version of AutoCAD you are using.
Staying Informed with the InfoCenter
Nearly every major Windows program is somehow linked to the Internet to offer the lat-
est news and updates for software. AutoCAD provides the InfoCenter, which appears as a
bar in the upper-right corner of the AutoCAD window.
Click the magnifying glass icon to the left of the InfoCenter bar to open the InfoCen-
ter search list.
