Mapping Materials on Objects - Autocad Tutorial


Whenever you are attaching materials to an object in AutoCAD, you are effectively ‘stretching' the image of the material around the object. For many objects, this can be acceptable. For a lot of others, though, you may want to adjust how the material is displayed on the object. This process is called mapping. The commands in this lesson replace the SETUV commands used in previous versions of AutoCAD. - View Tutorial »
