Autocad foundation skills  
 
Intro for Designers:
2 days + 1 optional

Getting a solid understanding of AutoCAD is a key objective of this training. Take notes at your own speed, use any training material brought to the sessions and discuss your aspirations with the trainer who is an industry professional.
Course content:
Drawing:
There is a particular skill in the logic used to master AutoCAD. We teach this first. Get the low down on x,y,z co-ordinates, real and relative.
Copying:
One of the most productive commands that will aid your overall speed. Its a stumbling block for some, so we attack it early on.
Moving:
Position and relative position to another object is the reason for detailed drawings. Be the master and you will have the basis of AutoCAD covered.
Erasing:
Not so much for mistakes which we all do, but to enable selective control of what we draw, copy, or insert.
Editing:
The power behind these tools saves time and improves accuracy to make CAD so superior to the drawing board, you wonder how Christopher Wren got by.
Blocks:
Once you have mastered the above, this is the icing on the cake. The power of the block extends drafting productivity to new levels.
Xrefs:
These are super blocks. You thought it couldn’t get better ...
Dimensions:
This is the essential delivery of information to the person fabricating your careful design. Its flexible in style and format. Develop this to your own standards.
Printing:
You might think “print button” but amazingly there is so much more to it, and it will enhance your delivery and output. May the course be with you.

 

Location.

The great advantage of one to one training is that training can be at either your location or ours.
We can travel to anywhere in Europe for your convenience, arrange training rooms in London or you can come here to CUK in Oxfordshire. Your choice.
