This chapter was about the advanced tools and features of AutoCAD. In this chapter, we learned how to make AutoCAD tables and also use Excel tables right inside AutoCAD. We learned how to add tables as data links and use formulas in tables. We also learned how to add fields in our drawing, which are dynamic pieces of text connected to other drawing properties.

We learned how to make isometric drawings, which are drawings that look like 3D drawings with X-, Y-, and Z-axis values. Finally, we learned about parametric tools, which are especially helpful when it comes to dynamic blocks. Using the parametric feature, we also learned how to make drawings with constraints and formulas.

In the next chapter, we will continue to learn about more advanced tools; we will mostly focus on customization-related features of AutoCAD, such as customizing linetypes and the user interface.
