Use the new ViewCube and SteeringWheels to navigate around your model, and then save and replay key views with the new Shot Properties and ShowMotion functionality.

AutoCAD 2009 Best Practices Webcast: 3D Modeling
Design the way you think…in 3 dimensions! Creating 3D models of your designs helps you to refine your ideas because you can visualize the relationship of design components. This same visualization of 3D models also helps you communicate the design idea to others. In this class you’ll explore new and enhanced AutoCAD functionality that enables you to apply your existing 2D AutoCAD experience to the visual world of 3D modeling. Begin by using primitive 3D shapes to develop a simple conceptual model. Use grips and properties to refine the shapes and then add detail and complexity with unions, subtractions, fillets, chamfers, sweeps, and lofts! While learning these modeling tools, you’ll also learn how to view your model in 3D space and dynamically align the user coordinate system to existing objects. If you thought 3D was just too hard, give it another try! With AutoCAD 2009, if you can draw in 2D, you can model in 3D!
