The objective of AutoCAD LT 2008 Fundamentals is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD LT. Learning to use AutoCAD LT is not a trivial undertaking. To make the process easier and provide flexibility for instructors and students, the class is divided into two parts that may be taken independently.
Fundamentals, Part 1(three days) covers the indispensable core topics for working with AutoCAD LT. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that will let the student create and edit a simple drawing. We then continue to develop those tools, as well as introducing more advanced tools throughout the course. Our intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts.
|
Topics in Fundamentals, Part 1 include: |
| |
|
Understanding the AutoCAD LT workspace and user interface |
| |
|
Using basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools |
| |
|
Organizing drawing objects on layers |
| |
|
Inserting reusable symbols (blocks) |
| |
|
Preparing a layout to be plotted |
| |
|
Adding text, hatching, and dimensions |
| |
| Fundamentals, Part 2 (two days) continues with more sophisticated techniques that will extend the users mastery of the program. For example, here we go beyond the basic skill of inserting a block to learning how to create blocks, and beyond the basic skill of using a template to understanding the process of setting up a template. |

|
Using more advanced editing and construction techniques |
| |
|
Creating local and global blocks |
| |
|
Setting up layers, styles, and templates |
