Course Description
Real life course with practice modules designed to share the market knowledge of AutoCAD.
Assist lighting designers and enthusiasts to get a better understanding of different aspects of AutoCAD, its pricing and some basic commands.
In this course we also go through a sample CAD file reducing and preparing it for calculations.
You will receive CAD files, to follow along, and more practice files at the end of the course.
Furthermore, this course is also a good starting point for anyone who wants to learn how to use the basic commands of AutoCAD.
One factor that will help speed up your work (reduce processing time) is the size of the CAD file.
Hence its critical for every lighting designer to reduce the file size, so the system can utilize the RAM to speed up design process.
In this tutorial I take you through the step-by-step process of how I have been reducing file sizes of any given CAD file and processing it before I dive into the lighting design itself.
