Question & Answer

We are discussing Surfing through Computers and the Internet
With Nathanael Boehm, Nan Bosler and DCITA

 

Question:
I am looking for a course for AUTOCAD and I would like to learn the basic course.

Answer:
Nan - AUTOCAD is a specialist program used by engineers, architects etc for design drawing. There are Authorised AutoCad Training Centres in Australia. These are, of course, commercial training centres.

AutoCad, like many design and drawing software packages are intended for professional use. They are reasonably complex and generally need support from a training professional.

There are some less complicated drawing software, eg Google SketchUp Pro. Like most software there is a limited amount of free design time, but eventually you will need to buy the software for more extensive use. SketchUp has self paced tutorials available on their website. Note SketchUp is not a CAD tool.

Ultimately Ron you will need to look closely at your requirements and seek more experienced advice so that the most appropriate software is selected for your needs.
