Basic Notes - Session 3

This document discusses three topics in AutoCAD: 1. Hatch patterns which allow filling areas with patterns and modifying properties like pattern, color, transparency. Hatches can be applied to blocks. 2. Blocks which allow grouping objects to reuse many times by inserting the block. Blocks are created by selecting objects and using the Create Block tool. 3. Single text creation using the Text tool in the Annotation ribbon to add text to drawings and modify font properties.
