MY EXCEL CLASS’s Course for AutoCAD 2013 is for avid learners and covers all aspects right from minor basics to advanced and complex structures of Software. MY EXCEL CLASS’s module consists of close to 42 lectures which cover various basics also like scaling, transformation, copying and even layering. You will also learn how to create styles or manage layers in a homogeneous manner. AutoCAD is in essence a software used like a Computer Aided Designing (CAD) tool for drafting and designing in two and three dimensional designs. The lectures in this course will also teach a basic set of shape modelings and transformations which can mapped out with a software like AutoCAD.
There are various aspects to AutoCAD which will be covered in MY EXCEL CLASS’s module which will even enable you to edit and modify drawing. Various drawing modes will be introduced and thrust will be on 2D and 3D edit tools. Extrusion and modelings of civil structures like bridges or ergonomic structures like doors and chairs will also be illustrated. Post this course you will be able to convert objects from one dimension to another and calculate areas and volumes. You will be introduced to the world of solid modelings and concepts like Rendering, hiding contours not necessary when mapping like lines and contours in 2D to 3D conversion, which adds to the designing palette.
MY EXCEL CLASS’s module also explores drawing tools and their workflow, interface attributes and coordinate systems for mapping and dimensional purposes. AutoCAD also offers you to do text and fields dimensioning. Doing page setups for plotting models and publishing them is also an important constituent of the module.
This finds use in various industries like Architecture, Engineering and Industrial Designing. Exposure to MY EXCEL CLASS course will give you the added advantage over others which will be an accelerator in your growth in these industries. You will learn to create drawings and designs and have the most seamless client interactions and all the learning
After complete this course you will able to do all this.
