 MISSISSAUGA,
ON, Apr 23, 2008 – RAND Worldwide, a global leader in providing
technology solutions to organizations with engineering design and
information technology requirements, announced today that its courseware
division, ASCENT – Center for Technical Knowledge, released three updated
training guides for Autodesk 2009 software:
- AutoCAD 2009 Update for 2008 Users
- AutoCAD 2009 Fundamentals
- Inventor 2009 Introduction to Modeling
ASCENT’s AutoCAD 2009 Update for AutoCAD 2008 Users training guide
introduces AutoCAD 2009 users to the application’s enhancements to the
primary methods of selecting command tools, the Ribbon and Menu Browser. The
training courseware also provides users with an in-depth focus on the
workflow for using annotative objects and annotation scales, Quick View
Layouts and Quick View Drawings, as well as the new DWFx file format and
Autodesk Design Review.
The AutoCAD 2009 Fundamentals training guide provides both new and
existing AutoCAD 2009 users with the skills required to successfully create
2D drawings. It helps users understand the workspace and interface, teaches
them how to use basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools, and how to add
text, hatching, and dimensions to a file. In addition, the course focuses on
more advanced techniques to further refine a user’s skill sets. Users learn
advanced editing and construction techniques, how to create local and global
blocks, and set up layers, and templates.
The Inventor 2009 Introduction to Solid Modeling training guide teaches
Inventor 2009 users the best approaches to parametric design philosophy
through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum. Users acquire the
knowledge to complete the process of designing models, from conceptual
sketching through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing
production.
