AutoCAD 2008 / AutoCAD LT 2008 Essentials

(5 days, 27.5 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.

A good working knowledge of PC's and Microsoft Windows is necessary for this class. An understanding of basic drafting skills and blueprint reading is helpful. If you feel that you do not meet some of these prerequisites you may contact our training coordinator for possible exemption.

AutoCAD 2009 / AutoCAD LT 2009 Essentials

(4 days, 26 AIA LUs)

The objective of AutoCAD 2009 Essentials is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD / AutoCAD LT. This class 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 by learning how to create and manage specific objects such as blocks, layers, dimensions and text. Each student will get time to practice their new skill set with time set aside at the end of each day to work on a project.

A good working knowledge of PC's and Microsoft Windows is necessary for this class. An understanding of basic drafting skills and blueprint reading is helpful. If you feel that you do not meet some of these prerequisites you may contact our training coordinator for possible exemption.

AutoCAD 2008 Update from AutoCAD 2006 / 2007 for 2D Users

(1 day, 5.5 AIA LUs)

This course introduces AutoCAD 2008’s new features to those using the two dimensional drawing methods in AutoCAD 2007/2006. The primary method of selecting command tools is now the Dashboard, which provides easy access to the most commonly used tools and can be customized to suit a variety of preferences. There is a new 2D Drafting and Annotation Workspace; changes and enhancements to Customization, References, Tables, Plotting and Recovery; and for those working with MicroStation DGN files, there are new DGN importing and exporting tools. Layer updates include changes to the Layer Properties Manager and enhancements to Layer States. Annotative objects and styles are another major new feature of AutoCAD 2008. Annotative objects can include Text, Mtext, Hatches, Blocks, Attributes, Dimensions, Leaders, Multileaders, and Tolerances.

This course assumes familiarity with AutoCAD 2007 or 2006. Many of the changes covered in the class are based on features that have appeared in recent releases of AutoCAD, such as tables, tool palettes, and sheet sets.
