AutoCAD 2008 3D Drawing & Modeling
AutoCAD Training Overview
More and more AutoCAD users are venturing out of their traditional and familiar two-dimensional world to explore the possibilities of 3D space. Thanks to many software enhancements in this area, 3D is an increasingly useful and widespread tool. However, the leap into three dimensions requires some changes in thinking and drawing habits.
This Student Guide introduces users who are proficient with AutoCAD’s 2D commands to the concepts and methods of 3D modeling. The course gives a thorough grounding in 3D fundamentals and explores the main features of AutoCAD’s advanced 3D workspace.
AutoCAD Training Topics
Although much can be learned during the course, the student’s success with AutoCAD 3D depends on practicing the concepts and techniques presented. We encourage students to set aside some time each week to try out the techniques they have learned
