An Introduction To AutoCAD Architecture

Course Description:

 

AutoCAD Architecture software has been engineered so that as you design, you create intelligent architectural objects, such as doors and windows, which behave the way you would expect. Since a change to one object is automatically reflected in all objects of the same type, drawing revisions can take place in real time, with tremendous efficiency and cost savings. This course presents a feature-based and process-based introduction to the features and capabilities of Architectural Desktop.
