DESCRIPTION:	This courseware is designed for the AutoCAD® user who requires additional training. It incorporates the features, commands, and techniques for becoming more productive when creating, annotating, and printing drawings with AutoCAD 2011.   This intermediate-level course continues to build on the basic concepts of the AutoCAD 2011 Essentials course.   Hands-on exercises are used throughout the courseware to illustrate the concepts that are taught. The exercises are provided in both a printed exercise workbook as well as an online format that can be viewed next to AutoCAD on your monitor.
LENGTH:	3 Days
OBJECTIVES:	The primary objective of this courseware is to teach the student powerful tools and techniques for drawing, dimensioning, and printing 2D drawings. Students will also learn how to reuse content that has been previously created and extract information from their drawings. With an understanding of these tools, students can begin to streamline the design process and become more productive with AutoCAD 2011.
