Description:

Exploration of theuse of system customization for drawing production enhancement and the principles of data manipulation. Presentation of advanced applications, such as three-dimensional object creation and linking graphic entities to external nongraphic data. This course builds on the skills achieved in earlier Computer- Aided Drafting (CAD) courses. The student exploits advanced and customizable features of the CAD software to build an effi cient, integrated, customized CAD environment. The course explores in more detail several advanced concepts aimed at increasing drawing effi ciency, including linking with external drawings and documents, creating, editing, and maintaining libraries of drawing components, and creating dimension styles and viewpoints. The student also gains exposure to the customizable features of the CAD software, including linetypes, hatch patterns, scripts, slide shows, macros, shapes, and an integrated custom menu system. The course concludes with a brief introduction to the programming environment accessible from the CAD software to help the student decide whether to continue on into the CAD Programming course.
