2 AutoCAD
The installed version of AutoCAD is AutoCAD Map v3 which is AutoCAD release
14 with added spatial (or GIS) functionality. It can be started by doing Start .. PWF
Programs and Information .. Graphics and Presentation .. AutoCAD Map
Please note that AutoCAD can be made to do things by choosing tools or tasks from the
menus, or issuing commands on the AutoCAD commandline. This document will use
the command line wherever possible because the menus may change between versions
of AutoCAD. In addition, clones of AutoCAD will look and feel different, but often
implement the same commands.
