    SHAUN BRYANT: Welcome to AS1977-- Those AutoCAD Tools You Were Never Told About. I'm Shaun CADjedi Bryant. And as you can see, there's various connection details there out there on the socials. We've got Not Just CAD on the socials there as well.

    And as you can notice from the slide, I'm an Autodesk Expert Elite member as well. Keep an eye on those wind turbines in that first slide, though. I've got something to tell you about those in the few slides coming up.

    I just want to pop in a safe harbor statement as well. Be aware that the presentations during the event may contain forward-looking statements from Autodesk. This is a legal document that just says, don't make any purchasing decisions from anything that I may talk about in the presentation.

    So Shaun CADjedi Bryant, who is this guy? So my home is Hull in East Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. And the wind turbines are quite a special thing around here. I live near the coast. There's loads of wind turbines everywhere that are land based and also sea based out in the North Sea, just across the way from me. But, also, the wind turbines are actually manufactured in Hull as well and shipped out all over the world.

    I'm the owner and lead consultant of CADFMconsultants here in the UK. And I also own the brand, Not Just CAD, which is currently running a podcast, a blog, and a LinkedIn newsletter. As you can see there, I do lots of writing. I'm a LinkedIn Learning instructor. I'm also a Global eTraining instructor.

    As mentioned, I'm an Expert Elite, Autodesk Certified Instructor, and Autodesk Certified Professional. I work with various organizations as a subject matter expert as well, Autodesk included. And I've been speaking at AU since AU 2006. So I've been around the block a little bit.

    I'm also an AU speaker mentor, looking after first-time AU speakers. I've been using AutoCAD now for over 36 years. I've also been using Revit for over 15 years.

    And according to some people in the USA, I do sound a little bit like the Geico Gecko. If you don't know, hop on YouTube. Look it up. I've also been told by my children that I am Ricky Gervais's stunt double. I'll let you decide.

    So a little bit of background info into why I'm presenting this particular class today. Let me take you back to 2023 when Autodesk released their 2023 State of Design & Make report. Some of the key takeaways there are really important. And the latest report, which is 2024, obviously, is all about disrupting the design and make process. But I want to take you back to 2023 because the biggest takeaway was that 79% of respondents said that training was important.

    So why are you at AU? Well, you're here to be trained, and I'm hoping that you're part of that 79% that think that training is important. I'm also a LinkedIn Learning instructor.

    And, again, LinkedIn also bring out a Workplace Learning Report. And their takeaways this year, 7 in 10 people believe that learning improves their sense of connection to their organization. 8 in 10 people think learning adds purpose to their work.

    So learning is so important. So this is why I've got this class here for you. It's all about the tools in AutoCAD that you might not know about, that you haven't been told about. So a lot of these are based on AutoCAD tips and tricks on my LinkedIn Learning series. There's a QR code in the corner. If you scan that with your phone or your mobile device, that'll take you to my LinkedIn Learning tips and tricks series.

    So the key words today are AutoCAD and the tools that AutoCAD provide. But we're going to be talking about the tools you were never told about. And when we look at those tools, we're going to talk about new stuff in the latest version of AutoCAD 2025.

    We're also going to talk about the daily stuff that makes you that little bit more productive on a day-to-day basis. And we're also going to talk about the efficiency and productivity stuff, the things that you can incorporate into your workflows that make you that little bit quicker, that little bit faster, So you're working smarter, not harder.

    So here's our agenda for today. We've got the new stuff, the daily stuff, the efficiency and productivity stuff. We've also got a bit of Q&A, if you want to jump into that later. And I'll also let you know how you can keep in touch with me afterwards as well. There's nothing worse than attending a class and not having the contact details of the speaker of that class. So all of that information will come towards the end of the presentation.

    Let's jump into objective number one, the new stuff, which is AutoCAD 2025. Now, I'm a beta tester for Autodesk for AutoCAD, and some of the new things that have come through recently in AutoCAD have been pretty cool. There's some cloud-based stuff, machine learning. There's even a bit of Autodesk AI in there as well.

    Now, I'm going to jump through these little five points here. Some of them have got videos, some haven't. So we're going to take a look at AutoCAD Smart Blocks and the Autodesk AI behind it.

    We're going to take a look at the improvements to hatching, also Esri maps. Keep an eye on that for wind turbines as well. I'll explain in a little while. And we've got the Trace updates, the Trace functionality in AutoCAD. And we're going to talk a little bit about Markup Import and Markup Assist where we're utilizing the cloud in AutoCAD as well.

    Now, smart blocks. These are a new feature in AutoCAD 2025. And as the little subheading says, Yep, There's AI in AutoCAD, absolutely. There's been AI in AutoCAD for some time, but you might not have noticed it yet.

    Smart Blocks allow you to enhance that block workflow. Working with blocks in AutoCAD is great because you're reusing your design content. But Smart Blocks take it to the next level. So you've now got new tools that work with AI algorithms. And they analyze context and patterns to allow you to place blocks quickly, easily, and, more importantly, in a smarter fashion, hence the term Smart Blocks.

    You now have things like block placement, block replacement, and object detection. You've also got block conversion as well. These tools are really clever and save a huge amount of time.

    However, if you are running AutoCAD LT, these are not available in AutoCAD LT. Be aware of that. Your consent will be required for access to your block data.

    If you don't approve that consent and you say no to it, Smart Blocks can still be used if you don't share your data. So it doesn't stop you using Smart Blocks. You just won't be sharing any of that block data with Autodesk.

    So I've got a little video for you. And we're going to take a look at one of the smart AI bits of functionality in AutoCAD 2025. And it's under a tech preview. So Autodesk have released it into the wild, but they're still getting consumer feedback from it.

    So if I just quickly run the video now. And you'll see we're looking at a floor plan there in AutoCAD. And I've literally just run the object detection tool. And now it's under tech preview. You get a little button there that tells you that.

    And I'm now going to review the object. So there's some columns there. And each detection set, I can use the arrows and jump around and select whichever objects I want to work with.

    So I'm going to be looking at the doors there. And what I do-- I'll zoom in. And now it's giving me the option to convert to a block. Now, I can use an existing block if I want to. You'll notice there's some doors there. That's the AI looking at all of that and the machine learning behind AutoCAD going, oh, you might want this particular door block. Or you might want a new door block.

    It depends on what you want to do. So if I click on New Block there, I can pop a block name in. There's my block name going in like that. It's even letting me know that one already exists. So we've already got an office door block.

    So I'll give it office door new. I can use the geometry center or I can pick a center if I want to. So I'll click there and pick a base point.

    So I'm going to go down there, zoom in, and pan a little and go and find the hinge on the door. There we go. Quick click like so. Job done.

    So that kicks in like so. That door is now ready. I can basically tell AutoCAD which layer to put it on. All ready to go. I can review the instances. There's two in this case. Click on Convert.

    They're now converted to blocks. Notice they're not highlighted in the detection set anymore. And I can close that by clicking on the cross. And that is now an AutoCAD block. There you go, block reference.

    And it's on that layer EF Door that I specified in the block conversion palette that popped up. That's how quick and easy it is. So those Smart Blocks, as you can see, can save a huge amount of time.

    So what we'll do now, we'll jump on to the next slide. And we'll talk about a bit of hatching improvement. Finally, some of you might say. Hatching has been around for a while. And some of these tools we've been waiting for quite a long time. They're finally here in AutoCAD 2025.

    The HATCH command provides now the methodology to draw hatches without the need for pre-existing boundaries. So you can draw without a boundary, which is incredibly useful. So you've got some system variables there now where you've got a particular draw mode. You can also specify a path alignment and a path width because you can now draw areas of hatch or paths of hatch depending on which mode you use.

    So if I just click and move to the next slide, again, a little short video here. I'll just set it playing. So that'll jump in there. And I'll click on Hatch now. And it's asking me for a start point of the hatch. And if I go down on the shortcut menu there and select Mode, I can pick an area or a path.

    So if I click on Path now, what you'll notice is it's asking for a start point of the path. And I'm just going to check my hatch scale there, make sure it doesn't look really solid or anything like that. So I'll pop that up to 25 in this drawing.

    And I can set the alignment. Do I want it center, inside edge, outside edge? And also, the width of the path, I can specify that. So I'll go for 6 feet, in this case, in an imperial drawing.

    If I click now, I'm now literally hatching along that path with a width of 6 feet. And the lovely thing about that is I can now highlight paths of entrance and exit in my building, emergency exit paths. And if I select it, can you see? It's a nonassociative hatch boundary with grips.

    That's how quick and easy it is. It's so clever. And I can just erase that, and we're back to square one again. That's how quick and easy it is to hatch. It really is easy.

    And if we do an area, we'll just change the mode on the shortcut menu. So I'll specify area now. And I'm just clicking. Notice there's no other objects or geometry forming that boundary.

    So as I click around, just a random area of hatching there. And there's my area without a boundary. Those tools will save you a huge amount of time when you're working in AutoCAD. So there's some clever stuff going on with the HATCH command as well, you'll notice.

    So what we'll do now, we'll jump again to the next slide. And this is the Esri maps one. Now, as I mentioned, I live in a place called Hull in East Yorkshire in the UK. And what I found was when I was messing around with the Esri maps, setting up my presentation, these are all the base map styles that you can use courtesy of Esri. Esri have linked up with Autodesk and are providing all of the Esri geolocation information.

    So I'm running this on the Esri imagery setting. You can see that in the slide on the right. It's highlighted in that dropdown there. Now, if you look at that imagery, can you see all those long, thin objects sitting on the dock there?

    Well, that's the river Humber just across the way from Hull where I live. And all of those long, thin objects are wind turbine blades. And if you move along to the dock on the right-hand side there, that's where the ships pull in, and those blades get loaded onto the ships to be transported all over the world.

    Now, the lovely thing about Esri maps is it's very quick and easy to use. And you literally geolocate by putting in your location into the dialog. And it will find the Esri map that you need for your location and select the GIS settings. There's thousands of different ones. There's Google Maps. There's Ordnance Survey maps and so on.

    Now, let's take a look at trace updates as well. Trace is a great tool in AutoCAD. It's been there for a while. But the updates to Trace include an improved toolbar. The toolbar is much better, I think, in my personal opinion, and you can edit external reference files while in the Edit Drawing mode as well.

    So if you look at the slide there, can you see on the right-hand side? You've now got the toolbar highlighted in red there. You can see now whether you're in the trace or whether you're in the drawing. It's a lot clearer now. You've got two different buttons.

    But you can also specify things like transparency on the overlay, which is the trace or the geometry and the trace as well. And you can see the trace is there. It's called Entrance REV1. So my trace there-- I'm in that trace at the moment because it's highlighted on the toolbar.

    So let's just jump along, and we'll talk now about Markup Import and Markup Assist. Now, again, these have been around a while. Markup Assist can be applied to external references now.

    So you'll notice there on that part of the slide-- can you see that information has been brought in? It might be an external reference file. And I can now insert either a polygonal or rectangular ref cloud around that in a markup.

    Now, that markup might be a PDF that I've inserted into my drawing, for example. So you can see there that I can specify revision clouds quickly and easily with that markup assist. And, again, you're marking up the drawing, the DWG file, from a non-drawing file such as a PDF.

    Multiple text markups are now available and can be applied to a single Markup Assist text insertion. So you'll notice that you can see the word heritage on the screen there, for example. There's also some text next to that in the revision cloud as well. You can see the little red line through it there.

    So depending on which text entities you want to work with, you can go and select them. But you can also select them as a group of pieces of text and work through them one by one. And then you obviously insert those either as multileaders, as multi-line text, or you can update existing text in the drawing as well.

    So you use the Select Markup Text option to add and then select the text markup objects to add. And you can see there, see that little A in the red square there, that allows you to go and select each piece of markup text and add it to the selection set rather than do it individually. That's one of the really nice new tools in AutoCAD 2025.

    So you can see there, I can change the text style as well. Annotation styles are now available, which is really, really useful because you can now apply your multileader styles and your text styles to the text that you've brought in through Markup Import and Markup Assist.

    So what you can do there is information from a non-CAD file, say your inserted PDF, can be converted to the current text style that you're using in the DWG file. Again, little time savers that just save you that time and make your day that little bit easier in AutoCAD 2025.

    So that's the AutoCAD 2025 stuff covered. That's just some of it as well. I'm only jumping onto little bits and snippets here, little tips and tricks because I could easily do a whole day on this rather than just my presentation time I've got today. So let's jump into the daily stuff.

    Now, these are the things that I use personally that just make my day a little bit easier and a little bit quicker. So we're going to take a quick look at sticky ribbon panels. Now, some of you may know them as something different, but you can work with your ribbon panels in AutoCAD. We can save customized workspaces. We can tweak the AutoCAD workspace to our own needs and then save it as our own workspace.

    There's also a really nice tool called Dimension Layer Override, known as DIMLAYER. That came around in AutoCAD 2020, and that's a really nice tool that allows you to make sure that your dimension annotation is always on the right layer. We're also going to take a look at finding non-purgeable objects in order to purge those non-purgeable objects. You'll understand that when you see it.

    We'll also take a little look at Smart Blocks and how they get placed in the drawing. Now, again, remember, Smart Blocks are an AutoCAD 2025 piece of functionality. So you do need to be running 2025 for those to work.

    So sticky ribbon panels, what are they all about? Well, what you need to think about here is Post-it Notes. Imagine you're taking your ribbon panels as a Post-it Note and sticking them somewhere else in that window on the screen where you're running AutoCAD. They can be dragged and dropped into the drawing area. And they're great for when you're working from a ribbon tab that doesn't include the tools that you need.

    Take a look at the slide there. You can see that I've got the Draw panel and the Modify panel in the drawing area, but I'm actually working in the Annotate tab on the ribbon. So the Annotate tab on the ribbon doesn't normally include the Draw tools and the Modify tools, but I can now annotate as well as draw and modify all in the same space at once. They can be expanded quickly and easily. And they just make your daily AutoCAD workflow simpler.

    Now, the nice thing about that is, like I said, you don't have to be in the Home tab on the ribbon to work in Draw and Modify anymore. You can be in the Annotate tab on the ribbon instead. So let's take a little look and see how those sticky ribbon panels work. It's another short little video, so I'll just get that running.

    And you can see we've got a nice little floor plan of an office. I'm just literally dragging and dropping that panel into the drawing area. It's just a click, drag, and drop. So I click on the title bar of Modify there, bring that in as well, pop that underneath the draw one, job done. That's how quick and easy it is to bring them in. Doesn't take long at all.

    Now, the nice thing about that is if I now jump to the Annotate tab on the ribbon, I've got all my Annotate tools, as well as my Draw tools and my Modify tools. You would have thought, though, when I returned that to the ribbon, it would go to the Annotate tab on the ribbon. Well, here's the clever bit. Watch this. As I return each of these panels to the ribbon by clicking on the little icon there in the panel itself, where have they gone?

    Let's jump back to the Home tab. If you look at the Home tab on the ribbon, Draw and Modify, they're back in the right place on the ribbon so you don't have to worry when you're returning them to the ribbon, whether they're going to go to the wrong place. AutoCAD knows. It's quite clever like that. And it's built into what they call the CUI, Customize User Interface part of AutoCAD.

    So that's your sticky panels. Let's just jump on again like so. And I'm leading on from the sticky panels here because what we're doing with the sticky panels is we're adjusting the AutoCAD interface, so if you think my AutoCAD interface rather than the default AutoCAD interface.

    So you'll notice there on the slide-- can you see I've got the dropdown there? I've got various AutoCAD workspaces. You've got the Drafting & Annotation, 3D Basics, 3D Modeling. Underneath that, I've got my own customized workspace. SCB are my initials, so I just called it SCB AutoCAD.

    So it's quick and easy to set up directly from the AutoCAD status bar. And it's then saving that workspace to the CUI in AutoCAD. And you can set it up as a dropdown on the Quick Access Toolbar like you can see in the slide as well, makes it nice and easy to find. And, again, it's making that daily AutoCAD workflow just that little bit faster because your interface is then customized to your needs rather than the default settings.

    So, again, let's just jump along. And another little video here. So you can see we've got the sticky panels already in place there. So they're there floating around in the drawing area. Now, at the moment, we're using what they call the default AutoCAD workspace, which is called drafting and annotation. Click down there on the status bar, and you can see the tick there next to Drafting & Annotation.

    So I click on Save Current As, and I give my new workspace a name. So as you can see there, it's CB AutoCAD, quick and easy, just a simple name there. Click on Save. That adds that to the CUI settings of AutoCAD. So I've now got a new workspace set up where those sticky panels exist in that particular setup.

    So if I hop up to the Quick Access Toolbar, I can now customize it, you'll notice. And workspace is one of the customizations that I can apply. So I click on Workspace. You can see now my workspace is currently SCB AutoCAD.

    So if I click on the down arrow, there's Drafting & Annotation. If I click on Drafting & Annotation, give it a few seconds, and we're back to the default settings, Withdraw and Modify back on the Home tab on the ribbon.

    Now, here's the nice thing. If I now flip to my customized workspace, go back to SCB AutoCAD, and there we go, there's my sticky panels again. That's how quick and easy it is to customize your workspace in AutoCAD. And, again, it's just one of those little time savers. And when you set it all up on the Quick Access Toolbar, top left as well, it does make your life that little bit easier.

    Dimension Layer Override. Now, this is another one, again, my dimension layer. Think about it as a layer that you know will always be used when you're putting dimension annotation on your drawing. What it does is it sets a specific dimension annotation layer at all times. You don't have to think about going into the Layers panel on the Home tab on the ribbon.

    What you do is you go into the Annotate tab on the ribbon and into the Dimensions panel. Use the command DIMLAYER on the dropdown, and set your current layer to be different to the dimension layer. And, again, it's making that daily AutoCAD workflow that little bit quicker. So let's jump in there. And, again, another little short video just to show you how it all works.

    So there's the Layers panel on the Home tab on the ribbon. So you can see there, there's all my layers in the drawing. Current drafting layer is set to Chairs, not normally a layer that you would put dimensions on.

    So if I hop now to the Annotate tab and into the Dimensions panel there, can you see that we've got the dimensions layer showing up in red? That is your dimension layer override. So I'm saying to AutoCAD now if I place any regular dimensions using the Dimension Annotation tools, they will be on that dimensions layer.

    And I'm going to prove that by going back to the Home tab. And what we'll do, we'll use the annotation panel on the Home tab and select a dimension. So we're going to go for linear, nice and easy, nice linear dimension, and we'll just use some endpoint snaps.

    So I'm going to come around here, and there's an endpoint snap there, left-click. Another endpoint snap on the end there, and left-click. And just drag and click again. So you'll notice that is on the red dimensions layer. It's not on the green chairs layer.

    So, again, another endpoint there. Place another dimension just to prove that I'm not cheating. There's our dimension there like so. And you can see how quick and easy that is. It's incredibly quick and incredibly easy to set up, but you then don't have to think about jumping back to the Home tab and into the Layers panel to change your current drafting layer to the layer you want your dimension annotation to go on.

    Now, this is a good one. And a lot of people ask me this one, especially when I'm training in the classroom, when I'm running sort of an AutoCAD essentials course. Purge is a wonderful command in AutoCAD. It can also be a very frustrating command in AutoCAD. So what you need to think here is how do I purge objects that are already in the drawing, they're already being used?

    So if you jump into the PURGE command-- you can just type PURGE if you want to. There is also a find non-purgeable items icon on the ribbon as well, would you believe? But what it does is it puts the non-purgeable objects into a selection set and zooms into those objects.

    Now, those objects, if they're erased from the drawing-- and you'll notice in that little screenshot there on the slide, that block, the PC block is erased. That means the block can then be purged. So that makes your daily AutoCAD workflow much simpler because you know that you can go and locate all of the particular instances that you want to erase by using the non-purgeable items part of the PURGE command.

    So let's jump across into another little video. This is how we use those non-purgeable objects in the Purge command. So what I'm doing here, I'm going to use the Application menu. And I'm going to pop down here to Drawing Utilities. And you'll see that we've got PURGE there, like so.

    So you can do that. You can type purge and press Enter if you want to. And it's also on the ribbon somewhere as well. I tend to just type purge and press Enter a lot of the time as you can see there. That's what I would normally do. Type purge, press Enter, brings up the Purge dialog.

    And you need to make sure that you click on non-purgeable items, remember, because you're looking for non-purgeable. All those blocks there can be purged quickly and easily because AutoCAD is saying they're not being used. We want to find non-purgeable

    So there's our PC block. That's our little red computer block there on the desks. And what we're going to do is we're going to come into the Details panel.

    So you can see there the block definition cannot be purged because it's in the drawing. So you can see there that there's four of them on layer PCs or PCs. Click on that, zooms in, and it selects all of the blocks like so.

    So what I can do now is if I want to erase those blocks, I can. They can be erased quickly and easily. And then I can purge that PC block and perhaps bring a different block into the drawing. That's how quick and easy it is using non-purgeable objects.

    We're jumping, again, into another AutoCAD 2024 specific tool. Now, I love this tool because I've never had this before in AutoCAD, where AutoCAD actually does things for me automatically. So what you need to think here is you're inserting blocks into your AutoCAD drawing. But they're blocks that actually know where they're going.

    So AutoCAD is learning how the existing blocks are placed in your drawing. And what it does is it displays what they call an inference of the next block placement. That automation gives you suggestions close to similar geometry.

    So if you look at the slide there, the original block above the wall, above the little sort of partition wall there, arrowed, is set into that corner. The block below it, the desk block below it-- I'm hovering. You can see the specify insertion point prompt.

    And what AutoCAD is saying is, do you want this block oriented the other side of the partition wall in the same alignment as the existing block? That's really, really clever. And it makes that daily AutoCAD workflow automatically quicker. You don't even have to specify this. It just does it for you straight away.

    And as you're floating around in AutoCAD trying to place a block, you will find that yellow line will appear, and your blocks will automatically know where they're going to go. It's incredibly clever technology. And it's all using Autodesk AI and the algorithms behind that.

    So let's have a look at how this works. I'll jump into the video. You can see we've got the desks there. So all of the desks are white blocks.

    So I'm just going to hover there. There you go. There's the executive desk. I'll insert block, and there's my desk, like so.

    Now, as I hover around, can you see the object snaps are kicking in? It's going, do you want the block there? Not really. I don't want it there. So I'll move around.

    And as I come down to the wall here-- give it a few seconds, and you'll find that it will suddenly go, oh, there you go, do you want it aligned there with those yellow lines? And it's like, yes, please. I just click, and my block is automatically aligned where I want it to go.

    I don't have to rotate. I don't have to move. I don't have to copy. It's done because the Autodesk AI is giving me an inference of the block that I might want to use. It's really clever stuff, so make sure that you utilize those smart blocks. Work smarter, not harder with AutoCAD.

    We're moving on to the final objective now, which is objective 3. Now, this is efficiency and productivity stuff. Now, this is the kind of stuff that I use on a daily basis that just makes me a bit quicker, a bit smarter. It just allows you to be that little bit more efficient.

    And if you're efficient and productive, it hits the bottom line. You become a bit more profitable as well. You're saving time working on other things with that time that you've saved.

    Now, some of these are really, really simple. And to be honest, I might be teaching you to suck eggs a little bit. If I am, just ignore me. But these are tools that I use on a regular basis just to make me that little bit more productive, so the shortcut menu. You've got the repeat tools. You've also got enter and spacebar where you can repeat a command.

    What about popping your layer dropdown on the Quick Access Toolbar so your layer dropdown is always available? And using the Centerline object instead of a dimension style center mark, that then allows you to utilize all one object in the properties rather than a group of objects that are in a dimension style. It gives you that flexibility to work with a separate piece of geometry.

    Let's talk about object snaps and object snap overrides as well. They're incredibly useful. And last but not least, one of my absolute favorites, selection cycling. It's a great tool. You can switch it on in the status bar. And if you've got objects on top of each other, lines, blocks, polylines, it allows you to select the appropriate one to work with. So let's move on to efficiency and productivity stuff.

    Let's take a look at our Shortcut menu. Now, what you need to think here is every time you right-click in AutoCAD, it's repetitive. And you're often in and out of that Shortcut menu because, obviously, it's context sensitive as well, depending on what you're doing. So the Shortcut menu does actually allow for very easy repetition of any commands you might have used and any other recently used commands.

    So you'll notice there on the slide I've obviously performed an arrays command, so it's offering me the option to repeat the arrays. Or if I go to recent input there, I've got arrays, ellipse, rectangle, hatch, circle, or line. So I can repeat any of those commands, those recent commands.

    But did you know pressing Enter also repeats the last command used, so does spacebar? So those tools there, if you're a bit of a keyboard warrior in AutoCAD, allow you to utilize your keyboard functionality a bit better as well. So it's just making those repetitive tasks that little bit quicker.

    So let's have a look at repeat, enter, and spacebar. Now, you obviously can't see my keyboard right now. But if I run the video, you'll see what I'm talking about when we start doing this kind of stuff. So I'm going to go to the line command, come into the drawing area, and I'm just going to draw a line.

    Now, this is a very random line. I'm just clicking on that endpoint there. And we'll pop across to the endpoint on the other partition there like so. So there's my line. So I now just right-click and select Enter to finish a line command. So that was my last command used.

    So if I now right-click, I can repeat the line command. And I can also repeat any recent input there. So if I click on Repeat Line or Repeat Input, you'll see there that I can go and repeat any command I want to that I've used recently.

    So that really helps me out. So I can repeat line, click on it, and you'll notice when I click on it now, it's prompting me for the first point of another line. So I'll just draw another line there. And you can see, I click on Enter. That finishes the line command.

    Now, you can't see my keyboard at this point, but I've just pressed the Enter key. And you can see there, oh, back at the line command again, very quick and easy. So I can draw another line. So I'll just do endpoint there. Take that vertically down using the object snap tracking. Right-click and enter to finish the line.

    So that's another line drawn, but just by pressing Enter. I've now pressed the spacebar. Click on the endpoint there. Drag across, a little bit of tracking there. Right-click and enter to finish. And I've drawn another line.

    So that's saving me having to keep going up and down to that line command on the Draw panel on the Home tab on the ribbon. So it's allowing me to work quicker and more effectively with the interface in front of me, the Drawing area and the Shortcut menu.

    Let's take a look now at those layers on the Quick Access Toolbar. Now, some of you may do this already, but I always think of it as it gives me the layer dropdown so that it's always accessible.

    Now, the layer dropdown is not always accessible on that layers ribbon panel. You might be in the Annotate tab, the Parametric tab. So it would be really nice to have all of your layers in a dropdown that's always available. This is a bit like those workspaces that we talked about earlier.

    So you can customize the Quick Access Toolbar and add your layers to that dropdown. So the layers are then always visible on that Quick Access Toolbar. It just makes access to the drawing layers that little bit easier.

    You'll notice as well in the slide there you can see that you can turn your layers on and off. You can freeze and thaw your layers. You can also lock your layers on that dropdown, which allows you to obviously work very closely with your layers. You can also click on the color blocks, and it will take you straight to the color settings in AutoCAD as well to change your layer colors.

    So let's jump into the video now and take a look at how we work with those layers on the Quick Access Toolbar. I'll play the video. And as you can see, we're in an office floor plan again. And we're going to the Layers panel on the ribbon there. So if I want to change my layer, that's where I would normally go, Home tab and Layers panel. So you see there's the Layer dropdown.

    Now, wouldn't it be nice if I had somewhere where I could get to those layers when I'm in any tab on the ribbon? So I've gone to the Annotate tab, so I want to play some dimensions on the drawing. But if I want to set, let's say, the current layer 2 dimensions, I've got to go back to the Home tab on the ribbon, select Dimensions like so, and then that becomes the current drafting layer. Obviously, take the dim layer override out, that we've already talked about. I'm just using dimensions as a sample layer.

    So if I now customize the Quick Access toolbar and select that Layer option, you'll notice now that I've got the Layer dropdown always accessible on that option there. Can you see? So it just drops straight down every time. I don't have to think about what tab I'm in on the ribbon.

    So I can go back to the Annotate tab now, work on my annotation, placing dimensions and so on. I don't have to think about it anymore. There's the Layer dropdown on the Quick Access Toolbar. I've still got all the same tools like lock, unlock, freeze, thaw, and so on. It's all in there. But it just saves time.

    And I can go and change my layer to any layer, regardless of what tab I'm using on the ribbon. Again, working smarter, not harder to save that time on those picks and clicks when you're working in AutoCAD.

    Now, the next one is an interesting one. It does depend on your company standards. It does depend on how your drawings are set up. But I discovered this quite a few years ago now in AutoCAD. And I now use Centerline objects instead of the center marks in my dimension style.

    So what you've got to think about here is you've got one object instead of many objects. So if you look at the slide there, center marks in a dimension style have to be used with a dimension such as a radius or a diameter. So you can see the radius 500 there on that smaller green circle on the slide. So that means that that center mark is part of a dimension style. If I want to change the settings of it, I've got to go in and edit my dimension style. I've got to change the settings in the dimension style.

    Now, the larger circle in the slide is using a Centerline object, which is available on the Annotate tab on the AutoCAD ribbon. And it's all one object with grips and specific object properties. So what you're doing there is you're making your drawings a little bit leaner for a start because, obviously, something like a radial dimension doesn't have all that center mark on it. It just has the radius, and that's it.

    So it's very quick and easy. And you see the properties there on the slide as well. There's various bits of geometry that you can set, such as the cross size, the cross gap, and the extensions as well. And it just makes life that little bit quicker and that little bit easier. So you can see there, there's the properties. Just allows you to work with one object.

    So let's have a look and see how that works in the drawing. So there's those circles that were in the slide. So I'm going to go now to my dimension style there, architectural millimeters. So it's a metric drawing in millimeters.

    If I go to the Dimension Style Manager, there's Architectural MM there. I'll select it. And what I need to do there is modify that. So I'm having to go into the dimension style to change those center marks.

    So when I come in here, I need to go to the Symbols and Arrows tab, you'll notice. So there's lines, symbols and arrows. And if I come down to center marks, I've got the option of a center mark or lines. I've then got to specify the size of them as well.

    So all of that has got to be preset in a dimension style. I would then OK that. And I would then apply that. So I select that there, make sure it's the current dimension style, and then I would close the dimension style manager. Lots of work there, don't you think, just to set up those center marks in my drawing?

    So what I'll do now is I'll jump into the Annotation panel there on the Home tab on the ribbon, and I'll pick Radius. So that then allows me to place a radius in the drawing. So I select the Circle, click on it, and there you go.

    There's my radius 500. And I've placed that radial dimension, and the center mark automatically appears like so. That's great. But that's all tied into the dimension style.

    So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to make sure that Centerlines is my current drafting layer. And I'm going to hop over to the Annotate tab on the ribbon. And you'll notice there's now a Centerlines panel there.

    So you'll notice I can leave the dimensions layer there. And I don't need to worry about that. If I want to place dimensions, that's great. Dim Layer Override is in place, but their center mark there on the ribbon.

    So if I now click on that circle, it places a Centerline object instead of anything involving dimension styles. So that's all one object, a bit like a block, a bit like a polyline, and I can just select it. I'll do a right-click, hop down the Shortcut menu to Properties. And you'll notice that the extensions there are not very big at the moment. So I just bring that in a bit closer so we can see what we're doing. And I'm going to change the extensions to 200 in this case, 200 millimeters.

    In fact, I've changed my mind, 250 there. So you can see 250 gives you a reasonable size, as you can see. And each of those extensions, you just edit them in the Properties palette. And they update in the drawing automatically.

    So it's just one object, and it's so much easier to work with. And if you click on those grips, you can see the 250. So if I click on any of those arrow grips, I can also visually just drag those and work with them that way and perhaps just type in the extension that I want it to be.

    But I think personally those Centerline objects are just so much easier to work with than the ones preset in the dimension style. You have to use those center marks in the dimension style with a dimension. You might not want a centerline with a dimension. So that's where the Centerline objects come in. And then what you do is you set your dimension style to have no center marks, and you use those Centerline objects to dimension from instead.

    Now, this is one that, again, I might be teaching you to suck eggs a little bit on this, Osnap and Osnap Overrides. Now, I love these because they just make my life easier. Well, for one, you should be using object snaps in AutoCAD anyway. If you're not, I'd be worried because you should always be using object snaps to draw accurately and precisely.

    Now, it's easier to always set your favorite object snaps. AutoCAD remembers too. So you can close the drawing, close AutoCAD. When you open it again, those settings will still be there. So my go-to, useful settings are endpoint, midpoint, center, intersection, and extension. You can see on the slide there, I've set them up in the little pop-up menu for the object snaps off the status bar.

    But the Osnap Overrides provide a quick and easy access to all the other object snaps. And you can also bring that up at any time by doing shift and right-click on the keyboard as well. It just makes object snaps a snap to use. You see what I did there, right?

    So let's have a little look at this. Let's see how it all works. So you see there there's the Osnap Overrides menu. That's what happens when you shift and right-click.

    So there's the difference between the two. The darker gray is what they call your running object snaps off the status bar. That pale gray one is the Shortcut menu when you do the shift and the right-click. So there's your Osnap Overrides.

    So let's work on that. Let's have a look, see how it all goes in the video. So if I run it now like so, I'm going to draw a line. And come into the drawing area. So it's asking me for the first point of my line.

    So there's an endpoint snap. Very quick and easy. And I'm going to come over here, and you'll see that there's a midpoint snap because those snaps are preset in my running object snaps down there on the status bar.

    So, basically, that's quick and easy and runs off of the status bar at all times. AutoCAD remembers those. So there's object snaps off and on down on the status bar there. Click on the arrow next to it.

    There's the preset running object snaps, quick and easy. So I can turn those on and off just by clicking on them. And the tick will either be on or off for any of those snaps. Very quick and easy to do.

    Now if you want to add anything to that, like your snap overrides, you can if you want to erase that line. So I went from that endpoint to that midpoint. Maybe I want to draw that line somewhere else. So I've erased it.

    Go back to the line command. I should really be using repeat, shouldn't I, instead of going all the way back up to the ribbon? But we'll pick that endpoint snap again. And we'll come into the drawing area.

    Now, what I can do now is I can simply right-click. And on the Shortcut menu, Osnap Overrides is there. And I'm going to pick Geometric Center, which is not a preset object snap. There it is there. Click there.

    That red rectangle is, by the way, an actual polyline. So that's why you're getting the geometric center there. And you can see how quick and easy that is.

    So shift and right-click brings it up at any time. Sometimes you don't need it at any time, but you can be working in a command, drawing a line, drawing a polyline. You can just shift and right-click and override your existing running object snaps.

    You'll notice there-- the good thing is, though, I can actually shift and right-click and then go to the bottom to the Osnap settings on that Snap Overrides dropdown. And I can go into the drafting settings as well. And work with my snaps that way in a dialog box if I want to.

    But you can see that there's lots of different kind of permutations and combinations there where you can tweak your running object snaps down there on the status bar to tie in with whatever Osnap Overrides you're using. And, again, you're not relying on anything on the ribbon or even anything on the Shortcut menu per se because all you're doing is right-clicking and going to Osnap Overrides if you need a different snap that is already different to your running object snaps on the status bar. Very, very quick and easy. And it makes those objects snaps a snap to use. Yeah, I know I said it again, right?

    Now, we're moving into my last absolute favorite. Now, I love Selection Cycling. I've lost count of the number of times I've opened a drawing where objects are often overlaid over each other, and they're really difficult to select. You sometimes have to do a crossing selection or a window selection to try and select them.

    Selection Cycling actually allows you to pick the object you want. It's a drafting setting available on the status bar. So I'm going to show you the customization. That's what those little asterisks are for, by the way. They're to let you know where I'm going in the video in a moment.

    So that customization will appear on screen, but it's sometimes a bit difficult to see because it's right in the bottom right corner. But it allows for easy display and selection of overlaid objects, and it just makes your object selection so much easier. It's unbelievably easy. So you see them there. There's the object selection icon. And you can see the selection cycling there as well.

    Again, little video to run here. And what we'll do now is we'll come down here. See those little three lines? That your customization icon. If you click on that, you can customize your status bar. You want to make sure that you select Selection Cycling, not Selection Filtering, totally different thing.

    So there's Selection Cycling. And it switches that little icon on on the status bar. Come down to the three lines, click on it again, closes the customization menu. So now you've got that Selection Cycling there, and it's on. If it's blue, it's on. You see it's on, on or off.

    So now switch it back on again. And you'll see that you've got a sort of bluey purple rectangle there. Now, if I hover there, can you see that double little square on the crosshair?

    When I click on that polyline, watch what happens. You'll get Selection Cycling kick in. And it's now letting me know that there's two polylines there, one on top of the other, a bluey purple one and a red one.

    So what I can do now is select the one that I want. And I don't need it. So I'm just going to right-click and erase. And there's the red one underneath. That's how quick and easy it is to utilize Selection Cycling. So if I now go to that polyline, can you see it's on a different layer and so on.

    Because sometimes you do get objects on top of each other in AutoCAD. It happens all the time. And Selection Cycling is a good way of sorting out that detritus and allowing you to erase the one that you don't want, as in the case of the rectangle there in the drawing area.

    So we've covered our agenda so far. We've done objective 1. We've done the new stuff. Objective two, we've done the daily stuff. We've done the efficiency and productivity stuff. So what we're going to do now is move on to the Q&A and also keeping in touch.

    Now, obviously, this is a recording. So you won't be able to obviously do the Q&A side of things with me. But if you're attending AU, as in AU this year in San Diego, you will be able to obviously meet me, talk about Q&A, et cetera.

    But the whole idea is is that this particular presentation will be available on the Autodesk University page for you to refer back to at a later date. So let's just jump through the slides. You can see that. We've got the Q&A now.

    Now, just before we jump into that Q&A, I want to give you a couple of quotes. I'm a big fan of quotes when it comes to learning. Now, some of you may a chap called Frank Lloyd Wright. He's an incredibly famous architect. And some of his buildings are simplicity personified, I think is the best way to describe it.

    But what you need to think about here with all of these AutoCAD tools is you can use an eraser on the drafting table, replace that with AutoCAD. Obviously, we've moved along. But you've got the comparison of that compared to a sledge hammer on the construction site.

    Utilize those AutoCAD tools not only to make yourself smarter and quicker, but also to be more accurate and more precise. Otherwise, somebody might be using that sledge hammer to destroy something on site that may be incorrect, may have been drafted wrongly. Just remember that. It's a very good quote.

    And Steve Wozniak, who originally set up Apple with Steve Jobs many years ago, wouldn't it be nice to design a real briefcase? You open it up, and it's your computer. But it also stores your books. Does that sound familiar now?

    There are so many different ways to access your information, access your designs, access your drawings. So utilize that cloud, utilize all of those online learning tools such as, say, my AutoCAD tips and tricks to go and work through all of that learning information out there to become better at what you do, to become empowered with AutoCAD.

    I'm a member of the Autodesk Community. We join our fellow designers and makers to connect, share knowledge, and be inspired at all times. You might want to consider a visit to the Community Zone. Relax, connect with your peers in the Design & Make industries.

    I'm also an Expert Elite Member, recognizes customers around the world who contribute to the Autodesk Community. And we share our product knowledge, best practices, and expertise. That's exactly what AU is all about. I love being an Expert Elite at AU and presenting, and speaking, and passing on that expertise so that you can be better.

    I'd also like to just bring about my new book, due in January 2025. There will be a free e-book version for five AU attendees. You can also have a preview chapter available for AU for you as well. And there's some AU discount pricing for pre-orders. There's the QR codes if you are interested.

    I'm hoping that the key takeaways from this class are that you realize that there's everything there that is snackable learning, short and sweet little tips and tricks that you can utilize to work smarter, not harder. Make sure you chase that fun too. Enjoy yourself as you learn. Have fun doing it. Maybe organize some lunch and learn sessions at work or have that Monday morning meeting where you sit with your CAD team and discuss things that might actually be enjoyable.

    And don't forget the art of googling. Always google it and stay inquisitive. But most importantly, always be learning. There's tools out there such as LinkedIn Learning and Global eTraining where you can go and find so much information about AutoCAD and all the other Autodesk applications.

    LinkedIn Learning. You can develop those skills. And as you can see there with the Global eTraining Everything library, there are so many tools out there in the AEC ecosystem. Thank you. And obviously, if there's any Q&A, please jump in now. And if you want to keep in touch, there's my information.

    A quick key AU takeaway, though, if you are at AU this year, make sure that you share your LinkedIn QR code on the LinkedIn app on your phone. There's my QR code there for my LinkedIn profile. And it's quick and easy. You can share those QR codes. It's a bit quicker than a business card, touch more sustainable as well.

    Don't forget you've got Not Just Cad, the podcast, available on Spotify and Apple. And I'd like to say thank you ever so much for taking my presentation on board. I hope you've learned lots of little tips and tricks that will allow you to become that CADjedi in the AutoCAD office.
