Course Overview

SHARE

You will begin by learning the user interface, basic 3D viewing tools, and the standard AutoCAD® tools that are routinely used. Specific Autodesk Advance Steel objects, including structural columns, beams, bracing, plates, bolts, anchors, welds, and additional 3D objects are also covered. You will learn about the powerful model verification tools, and you will learn to edit and generate all the required documentation files that enable your design to communicate the final design accurately and effectively.
