AutoCAD Training Overview
AutoCAD Architecture is “AutoCAD optimized for architecture.” In addition to all the standard AutoCAD tools, it offers a host of features to greatly increase the speed and efficiency of architectural drawings. The software is designed to work from first concept (conceptual design or mass model) all the way through to design development, working drawings, and facility maintenance.
AutoCAD Architecture 2010 Fundamentals focuses on the design development and construction documentation features of AutoCAD Architecture—the basic tools that the majority of students need in their work.
