AutoCAD Training - 2007 final

AutoCAD® 2007 software enables you to create and explore ideas like never before. From
conceptual design through drafting and detailing, AutoCAD 2007 is all you need to create, visualize, document, and share your ideas. AutoCAD 2007 combines the familiar AutoCAD commands and user interface that you already know with an updated design environment, giving you the power to shape and explore your ideas like never before.

* Conceptual Design:
An updated conceptual design environment makes the creation, editing, and navigation of solids and surfaces simple and intuitive. With all the tools in one place, turning your thoughts into designs comes easily. Improved navigation tools enable designers to directly interact with their models during creation and editing, making design alternative exploration more productive.

* Visualizations Tools:
No matter where you are in the project lifecycle, AutoCAD 2007 enables you to convey your
vision of the design with powerful visualization tools like walk-through animations, and realistic rendering. New animation tools mean you can expose any flaws early in the design process—before they can become problematic.

* Documentation:
At some point your design has to be built, and AutoCAD 2007 enables you to quickly and easily turn your design models into a set of construction documents that clearly and accurately depicts what is to be built. Sectioning and flattening tools enable you to work directly from the design model to create sections and elevations that can then be incorporated into your drawings. By eliminating the need to re-create model information for the design document package, you’ll save time and money, and avoid any errors that might occur during manual re-creation.

* Sharing:
AutoCAD 2007 expands the already powerful tools for sharing—like exporting current DWG files to older versions of DWG and exporting and importing DWF™ files with redline and markup information—as well as improves the ability to import and work with a DWF file as a drawing underlay. Plus, AutoCAD 2007 now has the ability to publish drawing files as in Adobe® PDF format.

What’s New in AutoCAD® 2007:
- Create the design of your dreams, or your client’s, with creation, editing, and navigation

tools that take your vision to a new level of precision and aesthetic presentation.
- Visualize your ideas like never before with lighting effects, materials libraries, walk-

through animations, and stunning rendering capabilities.
- Document your design quickly and easily with sectioning and flattening tools, dynamic

blocks, and enhanced tables to create clear and accurate sets of construction documents.
- Share design information across extended teams with powerful tools for exchanging data.
- Migrate easily with tools that help you upgrade while preserving customization of toolbars and menus.

AutoCAD Training - 2007 - 8115-Dimensioning Smarter with Associative Dimensions.html

In this project you learn how to dimension objects with associative dimensions. Unlike standard dimensions, which must be recreated, edited along with objects in order to accurately reflect geometric values, associative dimensions automatically update when the geometry they measure changes. This insures that dimensions are always accurate.

Not all drawing offices use associative dimensions because they are incompatible with AutoCAD versions before AutoCAD 2002. Nevertheless, your office may wish to consider updating its drawing standards include the use of associative dimensions because they really can save you a great deal of time and effort. You will find they practically eliminate the use of the dimension scale factor (DIMSCALE) and dimension factors (DIMLFAC) which are a constant source of hassle for many offices.
In this tutorial you learn how to:

* Make AutoCAD create associative dimensions.
* Create a scaled viewport in a layout.
* Dimension objects displayed in a layout.
* Change dimensioned objects.

By the time you complete this project you should feel comfortable working with associative dimensions.

AutoCAD Training - 2007 - 8102-Drawing & Editing Design Geometry & Layouts.html

In this tutorial you master the skills required to setup a scaled drawing. You also learn how to begin to draw with speed and precision.

* Use the BHATCH command to fill areas in a view with hatch patterns or solid colors.

By the time you complete this project you will have the skills required to "flatten" almost any 3D object into 2D views you can edit, paint or export for use in other applications.

AutoCAD Training - 2007 - 8201-How to Create & Plot Drawings to Scale (Free).html

Over the years, Autodesk has designed AutoCAD to support a variety of layout methodologies. In this tutorial you become familiar with most of them. You also learn how to:
* Create scaled drawings you can plot.
* Create template files that will reduce drawing setup time.
* Convert drawings created using old layout methods to using the newer, more flexible Model Space/Paper Space tool set.

It's important to understand the evolution of drawing layout methods for several reasons.

* If you work with old drawing files, they may have been laid out using an old method and you may have to update them to use model space and paper space.

* If your office is upgrading from very early versions of AutoCAD, chances are good that you won't be using layouts or paper space to layout drawings currently. Your design/drafting team has to decide if you will begin using the new tools, or teach every new employee how to layout drawings the way you do now.

* If you go to work for another company, chances are good that they will use layouts to create plottable drawings. To maximize your employability, you need to master the new tools.

When AutoCAD was first released, Autodesk asked users to create giant borders and title blocks around objects drawn at real world scales. For example, you might draw a football stadium, then create a title block roughly 600' x 384' around the football stadium, with letters more than 8' tall. When you plotted the drawing you would specify the relationship between units in the drawing and units on the printed page. For example, you might say that 1" plotted was equal to 16' feet in the drawing. This would plot the drawing at 1/16"=1'.

In later releases, Autodesk introduced model space and paper space. In effect, every AutoCAD drawing came with two drawing environments. You would create your objects at full size in model space. Then you would move into paper space, where you would draw your border and title block at full size. You might have a football stadium in model space, but in paper space you would have a 36"x24" piece of paper. You would "cut holes" in paper space to let views of the geometry in model space show through. This let users plot drawings that showed multiple views of their objects at a variety of scales. On the other hand, you couldn't create multiple "paper spaces" showing multiple layouts in a single drawing file. Many users also found the large number of commands you had to use to layout a drawing awkward.

In AutoCAD 2000 and later releases, users were allowed to have multiple "paper spaces" (called layouts) in their drawings. This lets you plot several sheets based on a single AutoCAD drawing file. The following image shows geometry created in model space displayed within a title block residing on a layout.

It is important to note that applications like Architectural Desktop now use layouts to display different views of your models. For example, one layout might display a top view and a 3D isometric view while another might display a reflected ceiling plan. Selecting a layout displays the related views.

AutoCAD Training - 2007 - 8106-Inserting Blocks From One Drawing Into Another.html

AutoCAD features many tools which make it easy to bring data from one drawing into another. In this tutorial you master the skills to mine data, moving blocks, text styles, and other data from drawing to drawing.
You learn how to:
* Display the DesignCenter palette
* Use the DesignCenter palette to externally reference (xref) one drawing into another
* Use the DesignCenter palette to insert blocks from one drawing into another.
* Use the DesignCenter palette to create a new tool palette that contains a set of blocks.

By the time you complete this tutorial you should be able to move design geometry between drawings with ease and efficiency.

AutoCAD Training - 2007 - 8202-Installing Plotters & Creating Plot Style Tables.html

Every AutoCAD user needs to setup a plotter and configure its use of plot styles sooner or later.
You learn how to:
* Install a plotter.
* Configure a plot style table to use different pens.

By the time you complete this tutorial you should feel comfortable installing most plotters and configuring most plot style tables.

AutoCAD Training - 2007 - 8111-Scaling & Overriding Dimensions.html
