Duration: 1 Day (CEU 7)

[Current Class Schedule]

This course (formerly AutoCAD CAD Management Fundamentals) is designed for the AutoCAD® user who requires comprehensive training on customizing AutoCAD tool palettes and the user interface, and working with Customize User Interface file types. Customization of tool palettes can quickly increase productivity by placing the most commonly used commands and objects in a single place. Additionally, tailoring the user interface to contain the commands, menus, and palettes that are commonly used during daily drafting tasks is another important key to improving productivity. Hands-on exercises throughout the courseware demonstrate the techniques that are taught. The exercises are printed in the book and are also provided in an onscreen format that can be viewed next to AutoCAD.
