AutoCAD Training Overview
This course introduces the new features of AutoCAD 2009 to users of AutoCAD 2008. Among the many changes in this new release, the primary methods for selecting command tools are now the Ribbon and the Menu Browser. Although toolbars and typed commands still exist, even the most experienced users should find that the Ribbon and Menu Browser provide easy access to the most commonly used tools.

Prerequisites:
This course assumes familiarity with AutoCAD 2008. 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 2008. In this case the AutoCAD 2008 Update for 2006/2007 2D Users course would be helpful.
