AutoCAD 2008 / AutoCAD LT 2008 Essentials

(4 days, 26 AIA LUs)
The objective of AutoCAD 2008 Essentials is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD / AutoCAD LT. To make the process easier and provide flexibility for instructors and students, the class is divided into two parts. Fundamentals, Part 1 (three days) covers the indispensable core topics for working with AutoCAD. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that will let the student create and edit a simple drawing. We then continue to develop those tools, as well as introducing more advanced tools throughout the course. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts. Fundamentals, Part 2 (two days) continues with more sophisticated techniques that will extend the user’s mastery of the program. For example, here we go beyond the basic skill of inserting a block to learn how to create blocks, and beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template.
