COURSE TITLE:

Autodesk Civil 3D 2012 Essentials

DESCRIPTION:

Learn the essentials of AutoCAD^® Civil 3D^® 2012 in this three-day training class, intended to give users comprehensive experience with the features and benefits of AutoCAD Civil 3D. Hands-on exercises throughout the course explore how to create 2D and 3D drawings.

LENGTH:

3 Days  ­­

Due to the flexibility of Civil3D covering a broad range of project types, it is recommended for groups (or individuals on a one to one basis) to discuss their specific requirements so that we can tailor a course to suit your needs and therefore maximise the learning experience.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Users who want to learn essential elements of AutoCAD Civil 3D for creating, analysing, and managing civil engineering drawings and projects.
