AutoCAD Level 2: Intermediate (Live Online)

AutoCAD®: Beyond the Basics course is designed for those using AutoCAD® or AutoCAD LT® with a Windows operating system. This learning guide is not designed for the AutoCAD for Mac software.AutoCAD®: Beyond the Basics course continues on from the topics covered in the AutoCAD®9: Essentials class. It covers more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the software. For example, here you go beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template, creating annotation styles, and how to work with external references.You learn skills such as:Using more advanced editing and construction techniques.Adding parametric constraints to objects.Creating local and global blocks.Setting up layers, styles, and templates.Attaching External References.PrerequisitesAutoCAD®: Essentials or equivalent experience.A working knowledge of basic design/drafting procedures and terminology.A working knowledge of your operating system.Course OutlineChapter 1: Working Effectively with AutoCAD1.1 Creating a Custom Workspace1.2 Using the Keyboard Effectively1.3 Object Creation, Selection, and Visibility1.4 Working in Multiple1.5 Copying and Pasting Between Drawings1.6 Using Grips Effectively1.7 Additional Layer ToolsChapter 2: Accurate Positioning2.1 Coordinate Entry2.2 Locating Points with Tracking2.3 Construction Lines2.4 Placing Reference PointsChapter 3: Projects: Productivity Tools3.1 Schematic Project: Purifier Unit3.2 Mechanical Project: 2 Views3.3 Architectural/Civil Project: Formal Garden3.4 Mechanical Project: Cover Plate3.5 Architectural Project: Addition3.6 Mechanical Project: Block3.7 Mechanical Project: PlateChapter 4: Parametric Drawing4.1 Working with Constraints4.2 Geometric Constraints4.3 Dimensional ConstraintsChapter 5: Working with Blocks5.1 Creating Blocks5.2 Editing Blocks5.3 Removing Unused Elements5.4 Adding Blocks to Tool Palettes5.5 Modifying Tool Properties in Tool PalettesChapter 6: Projects: Creating and Organizing Blocks6.1 Mechanical Project: Control Panel6.2 Architectural Project: Furniture Layout6.3 Civil Project: Utility LayoutChapter 7: Creating Templates7.1 Why Use Templates?7.2 Controlling Units Display7.3 Creating New Layers7.4 Adding Standard Layouts to Templates7.5 Saving TemplatesChapter 8: Advanced Layouts8.1 Creating and Using Named Views8.2 Advanced Viewport Options8.3 Layer Overrides in Viewports8.4 Additional Annotative ScaleChapter 9: Annotation Styles9.1 Creating Text Styles9.2 Creating Dimension Styles9.3 Creating Multileader StylesChapter 10: Projects: Drawing Setup and Utilities10.1 Interiors Project10.2 Mechanical/Schematic10.3 Civil/Map Project10.4 Mechanical Project: Dimension StylesChapter 11: External References11.1 Attaching External References11.2 Modifying External11.3 Xref Specific InformationChapter 12: Projects: Drawing12.1 D-sized Title Block (36x24)12.2 Mechanical Project: Drill Press Base12.3 Architectural Project: Office Tower12.4 P&ID Project: Oil Lubrication System12.5 Civil Project: Warehouse Site
