AutoCAD Mechanical 2008 Training Course
 Our training course for AutoCAD ® Mechanical 2008 software will teach you how to
use the the drafting application that offers significant productivity gains over basic AutoCAD ® software by simplifying complex mechanical design work. You will learn to
integrated design workflow between AutoCAD Mechanical and Autodesk ® Inventor™ applications. Also find out how engineering departments can build digital prototypes
while taking full advantage of the skills and expertise of the 2D drafting team.

Workspaces
Our training will show you how quickly you can customize toolbars and settings with
the workspace toolbar, which offers a pull-down menu where designers can easily store and access different user-interface setups.
Mechanical Features Workshop
Learn to use simple tutorials to jump-start understanding of the most popular features in Mechanical.
Paper Space Annotation Views
Reduce errors and drafting time by easily creating multiple paper drawings from one master model. Add specific parts and
assemblies directly to a paper drawing. Apply visibility, scale, color, and view overrides directly to each drawing without the use of layers.
Autodesk DWG Product Recognition
Easily identify which Autodesk® product created a DWG file, and open the file with the optimal program for maintaining file
intelligence. When the user moves the cursor over the DWG icon, a small window appears with information regarding which product was used to create the DWG file.
