AutoCAD Architecture 2011 Fundamentals
AutoCAD Training Overview
AutoCAD Architecture is “AutoCAD optimized for architecture.” In addition to all the standard AutoCAD tools, it offers a host of features to greatly increase the speed and efficiency of architectural drawings. The software is designed to work from first concept (conceptual design or mass model) through to design development, working drawings, and facility maintenance.
To meet the needs of different students, the training materials for this application are divided into two courses. AutoCAD Architecture 2011 Fundamentals focuses on the design development, construction documentation, and visualization features of AutoCAD Architecture (the basic tools that the majority of students require when working). AutoCAD Architecture 2011 Advanced focuses on conceptual design using massing studies and space planning, as well as several more advanced features for greater control over the program.
AutoCAD Training Topics
Prerequisites:
Students should have a solid background in AutoCAD before taking this course, since AutoCAD tools and concepts are essential for working with AutoCAD Architecture. In particular, students should be familiar with basic 3D viewing tools (preset views, 3D Orbit, and Visual Styles), layouts, Paper Space/Model Space issues, and external references (XREFS). A working knowledge of the Ribbon interface is helpful but not essential, as pertinent tools are covered in the course.
