Course Description
In this course, you’ll you will go beyond the basics of AutoCAD. This course utilizes either AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT 2022 as you advance your AutoCAD mastery of the software with more sophisticated commands and techniques. You’ll be introduced to using and creating macros and other custom routines. You’ll also learn how to create and modify templates in AutoCAD. You’ll look at some advanced commands in creating and modifying Layouts. This course will also explain how to setup sheets, using the sheet set manager to better manage your drawing collections. Finally, you will work with 3D modeling from converting 2D objects to 3D all the way to rendering out a life like image. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to create macros, custom routines, templates, use advanced commands in your layouts, setup sheets with sheet set manager and create 3D solids and models in your AutoCAD drawings.
What You'll Learn
- Create and use macros and custom routines, including custom commands, scripts, and the Action Recorder
- Build and modify AutoCAD templates with custom units, layers, and standard layouts
- Apply advanced layout commands using named views, modelspace viewports, and viewport layering overrides
- Set up and manage drawing collections with the Sheet Set Manager, including adding views, importing layouts, and publishing
- Convert 2D objects into 3D and work with solids in the 3D modeling workspace
- Produce lifelike output by creating animations and rendering images from 3D models
