This course introduces the new 2D features of AutoCAD 2010 for users of AutoCAD 2009. Among the many changes in this new release are the revised Application Menu that replaces the Menu Browser, updated interface objects, annotation updates, and new Measuring tools.
A major new feature is the introduction of geometric and dimensional constraints for 2D objects and dynamic blocks. These tools give you much greater control over how objects react when you modify them. There are several updates to publishing, including a streamlined Batch Plot/Publish dialog box and the opportunity to plot, publish, or export to PDF files.
Reference File tools have been streamlined and include contextual Ribbon tabs that give you quick access to the appropriate tools for the selected reference file. PDF files can be brought in as underlays.
There are also several updates to customization tools.

Prerequisites: This course assumes familiarity with AutoCAD 2009. Many of the changes covered in the class are based on features that have appeared in recent releases of AutoCAD, such as annotation scales, workspaces, and InfoCenter. Students who are not familiar with the existing features in the software could need additional background to get up to speed in AutoCAD 2009. In this case the AutoCAD 2009 Update for 2007/2008 2D Users course could be helpful. |
