AutoCAD Training Overview
Designed to follow Mechanical Desktop 6.0 Level 1, this class covers assemblies in greater depth, as well as more sophisticated part modeling techniques such as lofting, 3D paths, and design variables. The main topics covered include: advanced profile and part techniques; sculpting tools for advanced part creation; design variables; working with assemblies; advanced drawing views and dimensioning techniques; creating and modifying scenes; and bills of materials.
