Training Dots Program Summary: This 24 hour hands-on course covers the basic AutoCAD® commands necessary to create, edit and plot a drawing. Fundamental concepts of creating, editing, dimensioning, viewing, managing and plotting two-dimensional drawings will be covered. This course covers essentially the same material as the AutoCAD Fundamentals course at much quicker pace.

Who Should Attend?: This course is designed to bring the drafter, designer, engineer or new user to a productive level of experience. It is an appropriate course of all design disciplines and for individuals who edit, view or work with others that create design content.

Program Prerequisites: No previous CAD experience necessary. However, drafting, design or engineering experience is a plus. A working knowledge of Windows-based operating systems is preferred.
