AutoCAD 2010 Update for AutoCAD 2008 Users

Price: $825 (USD)

Duration: 2 Days (CEU 14)

[Current Class Schedule]

This course introduces the new 2D features of AutoCAD 2010 for users of AutoCAD 2008. Among the many changes in this new release are the primary methods for selecting command tools which include the Quick Access Toolbar, the Ribbon, and the Application Menu.

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. The introduction of the DWFx file format, which functions similar to the original DWF format and can be viewed in Windows Vista or Internet Explorer 7 without using a separate viewer, is new, as well as the inclusion of Autodesk Design Review, which views and marks up DWF and DWFx files and views PDF files.
