Prerequisites:
This course assumes familiarity with AutoCAD 2009. Many of the changes covered in the class are based on features that have appeared in recent releases of AutoCAD, such as annotation scales, workspaces, and InfoCenter. Students who are not familiar with the existing features in the software could need additional background to get up to speed in AutoCAD 2009. In this case the AutoCAD 2009 Update for 2007/2008 2D Users course could be helpful.
