CLASS DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

During this course, you’ll learn the core concepts of AutoCAD Civil 3D and gain comprehensive experience with the features and benefits of AutoCAD Civil 3D. Live instructor-led hands-on exercises throughout the class explore how to create 2D and 3D Civil engineering drawings.

The Autodesk Civil 3D Essentials for Surveyors class is for surveyors and survey technicians and equips them with the basic knowledge required to use Autodesk Civil 3D efficiently in a typical daily workflow. You will learn how to import converted field equipment survey data into a standardized environment in Autodesk Civil 3D and to use the automation tools to create an Existing Conditions Plan. Data collection and traverses are also covered. Other topics that help in increasing efficiency include styles, correct AutoCAD® drafting techniques, and the methodology required to create linework effectively for variables used in defining symbology, and surfaces, categorizing points, and using online maps.

My name is Willie Coker and I recently took a 24 hour AutoCAD course with Rick Feineis as my instructor. I learned so much in so little time. Rick was able to teach me AutoCAD specifically in just what I requested for the line of work that I do for living. Right after I designed a fire sprinkler system I submitted the plans to two separate plan reviewers and both of the plan reviewers signed off on…read more
