AutoCAD 2010 Update for AutoCAD 2009 Users training guide introduces AutoCAD 2009 users to the application’s new enhancements including updates to the primary method of selecting command tools, the Ribbon, and the new Application Menu. The training courseware also provides users with an in-depth focus on Annotation tool updates, the new Measure tools, publishing and reference file enhancements, and customization updates. The most exciting new feature covered in the courseware is Parametric tools that can be used on objects and within Dynamic Blocks.
A major new feature is the introduction of geometric and dimensional constraints for 2D objects and dynamic blocks. These tools give you much greater control over how objects react when you modify them. There are several updates to publishing, including a streamlined Batch Plot/Publish dialog box and the opportunity to plot, publish, or export to PDF files.
Reference File tools have been streamlined and include contextual Ribbon tabs that give you quick access to the appropriate tools for the selected reference file. PDF files can be brought in as underlays.

AutoCAD Training Topics
This course assumes familiarity with AutoCAD 2009. Many of the changes covered in the class are based on features that have appeared in recent releases of AutoCAD, such as annotation scales, workspaces, and InfoCenter. Students who are not familiar with the existing features in the software could need additional background to get up to speed in AutoCAD 2009. In this case the AutoCAD 2009 Update for 2007/2008 2D Users course could be helpful.
