 The objective of AutoCAD 2009 Fundamentals is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD. Even at this fundamental level, AutoCAD is one of the most sophisticated computer applications that you are likely to encounter. Therefore, learning to use it is not a trivial undertaking. To make the process easier and provide flexibility for students, the course is divided into two parts that can be taken independently.

To meet the needs of different students, we have divided our training materials for this application into two courses. AutoCAD Architecture 2009 Fundamentals focuses on the design development and construction documentation features of AutoCAD Architecture—the basic tools that the majority of students need in their work. AutoCAD Architecture 2009 Advanced focuses on conceptual design in the sense of massing studies and space planning, as well as several more advanced features for greater control over the program. AutoCAD Architecture 2009 Fundamentals can be taken independently as a separate course.
