Using the exercise files

“

- [Instructor] When you're working in this AutoCAD essential training course, the exercise files are available for download from the website. As you work through each of the videos, I will guide you as to which exercise file you should use, which exercise file should be downloaded for that particular video as well. Now, as mentioned in the what you should know about this particular course, we're using the DWG file format. Now, when you're using the exercise files, if you look at the top of the AutoCAD screen in the title bar, you will see the name of the file. So, you'll notice at the top of the screen right now, the drawing name is Introduction.dwg using the DWG file format that I've mentioned previously. Now, you will be aware, if you've used AutoCAD before that you can save back to different formats of the DWG file type. Now, AutoCAD 2019, the latest version, and AutoCAD 2018, the previous version, have a 2018 DWG file format. But, what that means is that only AutoCAD 2018 and 2019 can read that file format. So, what we've done with the exercise files for you with this particular course is they're all saved back to the DWG 2013 file format. So, that means any version of AutoCAD from 2013 up to 2019 can read those exercise files. So, you can download them from the website, store them in a known location, and use them to follow along with the videos in this particular course.
