AutoCAD 2009 sports cutting-edge features and a brand new interface, making it the perfect opportunity for those with no prior drafting experience to learn AutoCAD from the ground up. In AutoCAD 2009 Essential Training, Jeff Bartels gives a thorough explanation of the interface and explains the commands in the same order they would be encountered in a typical workflow. He discusses each concept using simple line work, and then applies it to a real-world example. The course is "industry neutral," meaning the skills and techniques can be applied to any drafting discipline: architectural, mechanical, civil, or design. Example files accompany the course.
Topics include:
- Learning the fundamentals of drawing
- Mastering specialized draw commands
- Controlling units and accuracy
- Making modifications to existing geometry
- Annotating and dimensioning
- Creating reusable content
- Plotting drawings using layouts
- Sharing data with others
