The objective of AutoCAD 2008 Fundamentals is to enable
students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD. Learning
to use AutoCAD is not a trivial undertaking; to make
the process easier and provide flexibility for instructors
and students, this course is divided into two parts that
may be taken independently.
Fundamentals,
Part 1 (three days) covers the indispensable core
topics for working with AutoCAD. The teaching strategy
is to start with a few basic tools that allow students
to create and edit a simple drawing. We then continue
to develop those tools, as well as introducing
more advanced tools throughout the course. Not
every command or option is covered, because the
intent is to show the most essential tools and
concepts.
Topics
in Fundamentals, Part 1 include:
•
Understanding
the AutoCAD workspace and user interface
•
Using
basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools
•
Organizing
drawing objects on layers
•
Inserting
reusable symbols (blocks)
•
Preparing
a layout to be plotted
•
Adding
text, hatching, and dimensions
Fundamentals,
Part 2 (two days) continues with more sophisticated
techniques that will extend the user’s mastery
of the program. For example, here we go beyond the
basic skill of inserting a block to learn how to
create blocks, and beyond the basic skill of using
a template to understand the process of setting up
a template.
Topics
in Fundamentals, Part 2 include:
•
Using
more advanced editing and construction techniques
•
Creating
local and global blocks
•
Setting
up layers, styles, and templates
•
Working
with advanced layout and plotting tools
