AutoCAD® MEP 2012 Training Course
(now includes the AutoCAD 2012 Essentials Series)
A full-featured AutoCAD MEP training course covering beginner to advanced concepts, and everything in between, for Autodesk's AutoCAD MEP 2012 with 155 individual topics and over 12 hours of instructor-led training.
Follow along as your instructor, David Butts, covers the essential concepts and guides you through the process of accurately creating and modifying 2D and 3D geometry that represent MEP engineering components; applying intelligent data to objects such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing and piping information; and using 3D models to more quickly and efficiently create and produce construction documents.
As a flexible CAD training solution, you can sort the lessons and progress from beginner to advanced topics; or just review seldom used commands and added functionality of new releases.
Features & Benefits of AutoCAD MEP 2012 Training CBT:
- Use at Your Office or at Home
Training software can be installed on a PC or laptop. - Powerful Keyword Search
