Drawing on the Internet

In This Chapter

  • Understanding AutoCAD Internet features
  • Exchanging drawing files via e-mail and FTP
  • Using the Reference Manager to view and fix file dependencies
  • Using Design Web Format and ePlot
  • Making multiple Web and paper plots with Batch Plot
  • Protecting drawings with passwords and digital signatures

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 20 years, you know that the Internet is causing major changes in the way people work. Because of the Net, most of us communicate differently, exchange files more rapidly, and phone out for pizza less frequently.

In this chapter, I show you how and when to use AutoCAD's Internet features. I also cover how the Internet features can connect with traditional CAD tasks, such as plotting. The emphasis of this chapter is on useful, no-nonsense ways to take advantage of the Internet in your CAD work.
