This workshop is designed to
help process design engineers improve their AutoCAD/IntelliCAD
skills, concentrating on the value of placing symbols (blocks)
with stored non-graphical attributes in CAD process and
instrumentation drawings.
We show how to extract non-graphic information stored with blocks
and how to import this data into Excel for subsequent
manipulation.
CAD Workshop -
Process and Instrumentation
normally runs over one day, but can be extended if required. Cost
is $285.00 inc. GST.
