AutoCAD 2009 Advanced
AutoCAD Training Overview
AutoCAD 2009 Advanced is the second in the series of AutoCAD 2009 courses and is designed to teach AutoCAD® users about the software’s more advanced functionality. This updated 2009 training guide covers AutoCAD® 2009’s new Action Recorder feature, which records the commands a user runs and automates tasks without programming experience, as well as the new Ribbon interface for accessing commands. Focus is also placed on the application’s advanced annotation, drawing with complex objects, and defining blocks and attributes.
AutoCAD Training Topics
Students should be comfortable with the basics of creating an AutoCAD drawing as taught in AutoCAD 2009 Fundamentals. Our teaching strategy is to demonstrate the versatility of AutoCAD by showing a range of options to achieve a particular result, and to suggest where one option can be better than another under given circumstances. Students should practice the topics and concepts discussed in this class, and apply them in ways appropriate for their work.
Prerequisites:
AutoCAD 2009 Fundamentals (or equivalent) and at least 80 hours of experience with AutoCAD.
