Summary

In this short chapter, you saw some of the most important features in AutoCAD. Finding measurements is perhaps the simplest, yet most useful, AutoCAD tool. Other information, such as the time spent editing or getting the overall settings in one view, can save time and guesswork if you're managing a project.

Other features discussed in this chapter can help you troubleshoot a problem. Locating missing files is a fairly common task, especially if you're sharing files with another office, and the Status command is often the first step in diagnosing other file-related problems.
