AutoCAD LT 2009 Fundamentals
AutoCAD Training Overview
The objective of AutoCAD LT 2009 Fundamentals is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD LT. Even at this fundamental level, AutoCAD is one of the most sophisticated computer applications that you are likely to encounter. Therefore, learning to use it is not a trivial undertaking. To make the process easier and provide flexibility for students, the course is divided into two parts that can be taken independently.
Fundamentals, Part 1 (24 hours) covers the indispensible core topics for working with AutoCAD LT. The guide is designed to start with a few basic tools that let the user create and edit a simple drawing. It then continues to develop those tools, as well as introducing more advanced tools and concepts. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts.

Fundamentals, Part 2 (16 hours) continues with more sophisticated techniques that expand the student’s mastery of the program. For example, here the training guide extends the user's basic skill of inserting a block to learning how to create blocks, and progress from the basic skill of using a template to understanding the process of setting up a template.
