Exploring the New Features Workshop
The New Features Workshop welcome screen opens when you first start
AutoCAD and leads to several animated demonstrations and explanations
of the new features included in the latest release of AutoCAD (see Figure 1.3).
This is a quick and easy way to see how AutoCAD 2010 has improved over Auto-
CAD 2009 and which tools you can use to augment any skills you already have.
Choosing Maybe Later on the left side causes the dialog box to reappear every
time you start AutoCAD. Choosing the No, Don’t Show This To Me Again option
dismisses the dialog box indefinitely. If you choose that option, you must then
access the New Features Workshop through the Help button on the right end of
the AutoCAD title bar.
