This intermediate class will focus on AutoCAD 3D part modeling commands and features. AutoCAD 2007 offered a 3D engine that was overhauled to give you more power and make it easier to build 3D models and 2D orthographic drawings. New tools for 3D solid and surface model creation will accelerate your design workflow! Learn new techniques that will supersede your old-school techniques. If you used AutoCAD 3D in the past, attend this session and get ready to be surprised This class will focus on the 3D commands and features of AutoCAD.

For the past 21 years, AutoCAD has had marginal updates to its 3D functionality. With the introduction of AutoCAD 2007, the rules changed! In this class, you’ll learn about what you really should be teaching in your AutoCAD classes. We’ll discuss new tools and tried-and-true techniques for creating new teaching and learning strategies for both the instructor and the student. We will discuss new techniques that will supersede your old-school techniques, and explore the new features from both a technical and pedagogical point of view. If you’ve used AutoCAD 3D in the past, attend this session and prepare to be surprised.

1. Techniques, Techniques, Techniques
In AutoCAD 2007 and AutoCAD 2008, 3D is a whole new world! If you are an experienced AutoCAD 3D user, you will really appreciate the new 3D commands and features in AutoCAD 2007 or AutoCAD 2008. USE as many new techniques that AutoCAD 2007 or AutoCAD 2008 has. However, do not forget some of the old tried and true techniques that have lasted the test of time.
2. Screen layout and the New Dashboard
One of the major changes to AutoCAD 3D is the use of the Dashboard Palette. Many great tools are right at our finger tips! Check it out.
