Courseware Description

The AutoCAD 2011 Update for AutoCAD 2009/2010 Users course introduces the new 2D features of both AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD 2010. AutoCAD 2009 users are taught the new functionality in AutoCAD 2010 and 2011. AutoCAD 2010 users are introduced to the AutoCAD 2011 changes and enhancements and are provided a review of the 2010 enhancements. Among the many changes in this new release are the revised Application Menu that replaces the Menu Browser, updated interface objects, annotation updates, and new Measuring tools. 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. There are several updates to publishing, including a streamlined Batch Plot/Publish dialog box and the opportunity to plot, publish, or export to PDF files. Reference File tools have been streamlined and include contextual Ribbon tabs that provide quick access to the appropriate tools for the selected reference file. PDF files can be imported as underlays. There are also several updates to the Customization tools.
