As with all good Windows programs — and AutoCAD is a very good Windows program — you can make your drawings appear on-screen in numerous ways. For a start, there’s the . . . er, Start button, the one that Mick and the Rolling Stones sang about way back when Bill Gates launched Windows 95 on an unsuspecting world. To get to AutoCAD 2007 (or AutoCAD LT 2007), you click Start➪Programs➪Autodesk➪AutoCAD 2007➪AutoCAD 2007. (You can tell you’re at the end of the line because the last AutoCAD 2007 has a unique pro- gram icon rather than a generic folder icon beside it.) Figure 2-1 shows the Windows XP Classic Start menu gradually revealing AutoCAD’s program icon.
