Training Objectives
The primary objectives of this course are:
- To teach students powerful tools and techniques for drawing, dimensioning, and printing 2D drawings.
- To enable students to reuse content that has been previously created, and extract information from their drawings.
- To teach students to grasp the high-level concepts of designing in 3D.
With an understanding of these tools, students can begin to streamline the design process and become more productive with AutoCAD.
