Cadvance Tutorials

 

As the Free Cadvance Version 6.5 has just exceeded 30,000 downloads world wide I thought it may be usefull to a few people out there if I published the notes below which were produced as visual aids and memory joggers for a course entitled "An Introduction to Cadvance" for the Construction & Property Consultancy formed within a UK Local Authority way back between 1995 - 1997.

 

I trained 60 staff who were making the transition from DOS Cadvance to Windows based Cadvance. The notes evolved into a manual (long before we went intranet manuals)

  

The Custom Toolbar on the top of the screen were specifically constructed to enhance productivity from the users, thus they differ from those supplied with the package.
