The objective of AutoCAD 2009 Fundamentals is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD. 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 (three days) covers the indispensable core topics for working with AutoCAD. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student create and edit a simple drawing. They then continue to develop those tools, as well as being introduced to 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 extend the student ’s mastery
of the program. For example, here the course goes 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
Prerequisites:
•
A working knowledge of basic design/drafting procedures and terminology
•
A working knowledge of Windows 9x, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, or XP
