 With over 46 hours of training tutorials to help you learn AutoCAD 2013 our course covers all levels of skill from the beginner to intermediate through the advanced topics such as customizing the user interface, working with collaboration tools, point clouds and modifying 3D objects.
Our AutoCAD 2013 training course comes complete with project files, so you can recreate the exercises exactly as your instructor has. Of course you will need your own copy of the this software on your computer to open these project files. The hands-on experience you will gain from our course will help you gain valuable knowledge and skills with the most current 2D and 3D design features of this latest software.
New features and enhancements within AutoCAD 2013
This latest version offers new design tools, such as the documentation tab which provides easier access to tools for creating Section and Details views. A new strike-through style is provided for even more flexibility when using text in your documents. Learn to Synchronize files with AutoDesk computing platform. Easily access your customization preferences and support files when moving from one system to the next
Additional enhancements include: Built-in connections for Facebook and Twitter to share your designs. Extrude and offset curves with the new PressPull tool.
