Welcome to the course

The goal of this 2-part series is to help you maximize productivity of 2D design with the full power of AutoCAD Mechanical and all the tools on the top of AutoCAD that it has to offer. This second course focuses on the annotation of 2D drawings including power dimensioning, layer and part list management. You can just watch the videos and in this case each course will take about 15 mins, or take the hypothetical project we provide and go over all the main productivity tools to transform your awareness about these tools into a skill. By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Understand different approach to annotation in AutoCAD Mechanical vs AutoCAD
Create balloons and parts lists automatically
Understand how layer management works (spoiler alert! It's automatic!)
Use built-in set of standards and title-blocks
Fully document the provided project under the guidance of our 5 star instructor

This series was developed and recorded by Thom Tremblay, Mechanical Engineer, Author and Certified Instructor. In 1988 Thom Tremblay started working as a drafter and mechanical designer in shipbuilding, planning, casework, commercial electronics, and centrifugal compressors eventually led Thom using his skills to teach others. With over twenty years of experience consulting with businesses and education institutions of all types and sizes, Thom has developed an understanding of how people use and learn technologies. Thom also holds professional certifications in Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor, and is an Autodesk Certified Instructor.
