VIEWCUBE and NAVIGATION BAR
The ViewCube and the Navigation Bar are used primarily in the 3D mode. They enable you to view and rotate the 3D Model.
We will not be using these tools in this Workbook. Refer to the “Advanced” workbook.
Since we are not using these tools you may choose to turn their display off. Follow the easy instructions below to turn the display off or on.
How to turn off the View cube and Navigation bar.
There are 2 methods:
Method 1
1.Type navbardisplay <enter>
2.Type 0 <enter> [0 = off 1 = on]
3.Type navvcubedisplay
4.Type 1 <enter>
Note: Navvcubedisplay has 4 settings:
0 = Not displayed in 2D or 3D
1 = Displayed in 3D only (Select this one for the workbook)
2 = Displayed in 2D only
3 = Displayed in both 2D and 3D
Method 2.
1.Select the View tab
2.Left click on the ViewCube and Navigation Bar buttons.

Basic Tooltip
When you hover your cursor over a tool an initial Tooltip will appear telling you the name of the tool with a brief description.
Extended Tooltip
If you hover just a little longer, a graphic display directly from the Help system, will appear.
How to turn off Tooltips
After you become familiar with AutoCAD you will want to turn these off. Or you may just want to delay the extended Tooltips.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
1.Create and use a Template
2.Select a Command
3.Draw, Select and Erase objects
4.Start a New drawing
5.Open an Existing Drawing
6.Open Multiple Drawings
7.Save, Backup and Recover a drawing
8.Exit AutoCAD
The first item on the learning agenda is how to create a template file from a drawing file. This is important: You will need this template to complete Lessons 2 through 8.
First you need to download a drawing file.
A. Type the website address shown below into your web browser, then press <enter>
http://new.industrialpress.com/ext/downloads/acad/2015-workbook-helper.dwg
B. The 2015-workbook-helper file will download automatically.
C. Save the downloaded file to your desktop.
Now you will create a template. (This will be a very easy task.)
1.Start AutoCAD, if you haven’t already. (Refer to page 1-2)
2.Select the OPEN tool from the Quick Access Toolbar. (Refer to page 1-10)
3.Select the Desktop directory
4.Select the 2015-workbook-helper.dwg
5.Select the Open button located in the lower right corner.
Your screen should appear as shown below.
I created the Rectangular shape that appears in the drawing area. I have designed the exercises that follow to fit on an 11 X 8.5 sheet of paper so you can easily print them on any letter size printer. The Rectangle represents an 11 X 8.5 sheet of paper. While completing the exercises within this workbook please try to draw all objects within this rectangle.
The criss-cross lines are Grids. I have set them to display every 1 inch vertically and horizontally. You will learn more about Grids in Lesson 3. For now notice that the grids are 11 horizontally and 8.5 vertically. Grids are merely a visual aid and will not print. The size may be changed at any time and they may be turned ON or OFF easily by selecting the “Grid” button on the status line or F7. (Refer to page 1-13)
The next step is to create a template from this drawing. Continue on to step 6 on the next page.
6.Select the “Application Menu”
