This course introduces AutoCAD 2008’s new features
to those using the two dimensional drawing methods in
AutoCAD 2007/2006. The primary method of selecting command
tools is now the Dashboard, which provides easy access
to the most commonly used tools and can be customized
to suit a variety of preferences. There is a new 2D Drafting
and Annotation Workspace, changes and enhancements to
Customization, References, Tables, and Plotting and Recovery,
and for those working with MicroStation DGN files, there
are new DGN importing and exporting tools. Layer updates
include changes to the Layer Properties Manager and enhancements
to Layer States. Annotative objects and styles are another
major new feature of AutoCAD 2008. Annotative objects
can include Text, Mtext, Hatches, Blocks, Attributes,
Dimensions, Leaders, Multileaders, and Tolerances.

Prerequisites: This
course assumes familiarity with AutoCAD 2007 or 2006.
Many of the changes covered in the class are based on
features that have appeared in recent releases of AutoCAD,
such as tables, tool palettes, and sheet sets. Students
who are not familiar with the existing features in the
software could need additional background to get up to
speed in AutoCAD 2007. In this case the AutoCAD 2007
Update for 2005 2D Users course could be helpful.
