AutoCAD
Duration 5 days
Course Overview AutoCAD is the leading design and drawing software, and an essential skill for designers, architects, and engineers. Whether you're new to the software, upgrading, or preparing forcertification, this training is your ideal resource for complete AutoCAD instruction. It is designed for both students and the professional AutoCAD user. Concise, straightforward explanations. Handouts and exercises to provide a real- world experience.
- Master 2D drawing using splines, polylines, layers, and objects
- Add detail with hatching, gradients, text, and dimensions
- Convert your design into a 3D model for a walk-through tour
- Import, print, edit, and present your final design
Prerequisites To ensure your success, you must have a basic understanding of your computer's operatingsystem. For example, you should know how to launch an application, create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media. Knowledge of Photoshop is an added advantage.
