AutoCAD Workshop Notes |
|
The notes below have were produced as visual aids and memory joggers for a series of lunch time Introduction to AutoCAD workshops that I ran in-house for staff in 2003.
These notes ultimately formed a comprehensive reference document and training aid for new members of staff.
They cover the basic and are still applicable to todays versions of AutoCAD. I hope you will find something useful here. Remember that you have the manuals within the package under [F1] Help, and can search using key words and the index.
Check out the Links section for web sites with some really great Tutorials. |
