AU 2007 AutoCAD Mechanical sessions
November 20, 2007, 05:19 AM Andrew de LeonWith AU 2007 just around the corner, here’s the complete list of AutoCAD Mechanical sessions on offer. So if you use AutoCAD Mechanical and you are attending AU, make sure you catch at least a couple of these sessions.
Kevin Robinson: The Power Tools of AutoCAD® Mechanical
Session ID: MA201-5
Frustrated with tedious design tasks? Learn why AutoCAD Mechanical is a great choice for 2D mechanical designers. There are many tools in AutoCAD Mechanical that will increase your productivity and reduce common design errors. Learn how to take advantage of these tools such as Associative Hide, Power Dimensioning, Bills of Material, Auto Balloon, and Screw Connections. If you’re using AutoCAD for mechanical design or you’re a casual user of AutoCAD Mechanical, come learn what productivity really means!
Kevin Robinson: All the "Zero Learning Curve" Features of AutoCAD® Mechanical
Session ID: MA211-1L
Based on last year’s award-winning class, "Power Tools of AutoCAD Mechanical," you’ll leave this class ready to fire up this mechanical CAD drafting engine. This supercharged class takes the top 10 features and shows you the ins and outs in order to kick “Plain-Jane AutoCAD” to the curb for Mechanical drafting and design work.
Jim Swain: AutoCAD® Mechanical and Power Dimensioning: Start Saving Time Now!
Session ID: MA215-3
Power Dimensioning is the fastest and easiest tool available for the typical AutoCAD user who wants to increase productivity! Just install AutoCAD Mechanical and with a few tweaks to your Options, you can be using a single command to meet your dimensioning needs. It is so fast and so easy, you’ll wonder how you’ve survived without it! Sounds like a late night infomercial, doesn’t it? But in this case, the claims are true! We’ll look at how to set up and use Power Dimensioning so you can start saving time immediately.
Dale Schneider: Drawing Documentation: Communicating the Design with the Help of AutoCAD® Mechanical
Session ID: MA219-1
Design creation is considered by many to be the fun part of a project, and its associated drawing documentation a necessary chore. This session focuses on the tasks and tools in AutoCAD Mechanical for creating drawing documentation as quickly and efficiently as possible while meeting custom-drawing documentation requirements. Tasks and tools include utilizing Associative Hide so the design geometry remains dynamic and appears as required; creating and reusing annotation views of mechanically structured data; configuring and utilizing Custom Borders and Title Blocks; and the use of standards-based parts lists and balloons.
Dale Schneider: AutoCAD® Mechanical Standards: Configuration and Use
Session ID: MA305-3
Because of the importance and impact current settings in the Active standard have on your geometry and annotation, it is important that all CAD managers and users of AutoCAD Mechanical understand the configuration of mechanical standards. This session presents the configuration of a standard with special focus given to the configuration of the bill of materials (BOM) and its related items of component properties, parts list, and balloons. While learning about the configuration of the BOM, we’ll also cover layer management and master settings. To work as efficiently as possible and to maintain consistency among drawings, you’ll learn the different ways to reuse your standard settings with template drawings and how to export and import your standards.- Andrew
