IntelliCAD Basic Course
I am turning my Basic Introduction to IntelliCAD Course into a multimedia CD learning course. An extract of it is here for your information.
The completed course will be supplied on CD Rom for a modist fee. Please email alan@cadalot.co.uk if you are interested in purchasing once completed.
The Adobe Acrobat pdf files are the notes that I hand out to students on my courses. I've used the Turbo Demos / Tutorials to issue instructions, guidance and show you how to complete the exercises. |
