Course Objectives

  • The primary objective of this course is to teach delegates the basic commands necessary for 3D modelling and how to create scaled drafting views / paper space using AutoCAD. Upon completion of the course, the student will:
  • • Become familiar with the AutoCAD 3D user interface
    • Understand the concepts and features of 3D AutoCAD
    • How to edit 3D models in AutoCAD
    • Present drawings based on 3D model within AutoCAD
    • Develop a level of comfort and confidence with 3D AutoCAD through hands-on experience

Prerequisites

  • 2D CAD, ideally AutoCAD, experience is helpful to progress quickly through this course. However other, drafting, design, or engineering experience is useful. It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of Microsoft supported systems.

Who it's for

  • This course is aimed at those who want a clear and straightforward insight into the world of 3D Solid Modelling within AutoCAD.

Included

  • Lunch and refreshments when training is delivered at our training venues
