AutoCAD® MEP 2015 Training Course
(now includes the AutoCAD 2015 Essentials Series)
A full-featured AutoCAD MEP training course covering beginner to advanced concepts, and everything in between, for Autodesk's AutoCAD MEP 2015 engineering design and drafting application with 170 individual video tutorials and over 13 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 complete construction documents.
This training package includes 2 courses:
- AutoCAD MEP 2015 Training - 13 Hours
- AutoCAD 2015 Essentials Training (for beginners) - 15 Hours
This training covers the following areas:
- Getting Started | Schematic Drawings | Designing with Space and Zone Objects
- Modeling an MEP System | Electrical Systems | Analyzing Systems | Detailing
- Annotation | Construction Documents | Project Management | Style Manager
- Display System | Content Development | Autodesk 360 Online Tools
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 2015 Training:
- Use at Your Office or at Home
Training software can be installed on a PC or laptop. - Powerful Keyword Search
Quickly locate relevant lessons or reference seldom used commands. - Sort Lessons By Skill Level
Work your way from Beginner to Advanced level topics. - Exercise Files
Make the most of your learning experience by opening the included exercise files directly in your own software (if you own a copy of the AutoCAD software) while following along with the instructor-led video tutorials; this training does not come with the AutoCAD software. - Intelligent History
Track the lessons you’ve completed or restart a lesson exactly where you left off. - Multimedia DVD based Training
With DVD based training, the lectures were video taped and then digitized and presented to you in Full Motion Video, Audio, & Graphics.
