Interestingly, the number of commands happened to come to 42, so I paraphrased Douglas Adam\u2019s famous quote to &#8220;the answer to the ultimate question of\u00a0life, the universe, and <em>AutoCAD<\/em> is\u00a042.&#8221; The class went well, and I started brandishing the number in a campaign to make AutoCAD easier to learn. In response, a colleague suggested that I create a tutorial using the hitchhiker\u2019s guide as a theme.<\/p>\n<p>Dang! Why didn\u2019t I think of that?<\/p>\n<p>It was very exciting to be able to break free from the normal documentation style and experiment with bolder, more interesting illustrations. Incidentally, I chose an orange color for the callout text and arrows to accommodate people with the most common form of color blindness, and we\u2019re now starting to incorporate the hitchhiker\u2019s illustration style into our main Help topics as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Hitchhikersguide1_trswla.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1148\" data-lbwps-width=\"333\" data-lbwps-height=\"85\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Hitchhikersguide1_trswla-300x77.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1148\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Hitchhikersguide1_trswla.png\" alt=\"Hitchhikersguide1\" width=\"333\" height=\"85\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Hitchhikersguide1_trswla.png 333w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Hitchhikersguide1_trswla-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The toughest decision was how to deal with four different methods of scaling drawings. Should I explain all four methods or pick just one? In the end, I chose a compromise. Knowing full well that companies have strong reasons for choosing the method that they employ, I decided to provide descriptions for each method, but to explain the trans-spatial method of creating dimensions directly in paper space in more detail. I chose the trans-spatial method simply because it\u2019s the easiest to learn. I also point out that the EXPORTLAYOUT command can be used to merge everything in model and paper space into the model space of a separate drawing file, which emulates the original, pre-paper space method.<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s always room for improvement, we\u2019re delighted with the response that we\u2019ve been receiving from people.
