Working to a defined CAD standard

 

This course introduces you to the concepts behind incorporating CAD drawings into company quality systems. We develop a drafting standard for a typical company that meets As1100 and focus on generating some drawings to that standard.

Participants are supplied with an AutoLISP program (VERIFY value $A300) which they can use to automatically check drawings against their company standard and produce an exceptions report. We assist participants in this customization process.

Course duration:

CAD standards normally runs over a full day session. Cost is $285.00 per person and includes GST.

Prerequisites:

An understanding of basic computer operation including being able to create, save and locate files. 

Ability to create complex drawings using either AutoCAD, IntelliCAD or MicroStation.
