AUTOCAD 2012 COURSEWARE

ASCENT offers the following Autodesk Official Training Guide to help AutoCAD users prepare for the Autodesk AutoCAD Certification exams:

AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT 2012 Fundamentals The objective of this course is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD. To make the process easier and provide flexibility for instructors and students, the course is divided into two parts that can be taken independently:

Part 1: covers the essential core topics for working with AutoCAD. The guide enables students to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop these skills. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts.

Part 2: continues with more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the program. For example, 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 understand the process of setting up a template.
