AutoCAD® Plant 3D 2015 Training Course
(now includes the AutoCAD 2015 Essentials Series)
AutoCAD® Plant 3D 2015 teaches the tools used by designers and engineers to create 3D plant designs and document process plants. Covering over 169 individual video tutorials and 12 hours of instructor-led training, your instructor, David Butts, will guide you through the tools and features of AutoCAD Plant 3D 2015 used to create accurate, coordinated plant layout designs. You'll learn how to create accurate and coordinated plant layout designs. Video lessons cover working with projects, creating process and instrumentation diagrams, modifying and annotating P&ID, creating a 3D model, defining isometric and orthographic views, working with projects and project data, and much more.
This training package includes 2 courses:
- AutoCAD Plant 3D 2015 Training - 12 Hours
- AutoCAD 2015 Essentials Training (for beginners) - 15 Hours
This training covers the following areas:
- Getting Started | Working with Projects | Creating Process and Instrumentation Diagrams
- Modifying a P&ID | Annotating a P&ID | Creating a 3D Model | Defining Isometric Views
- Defining Orthographic Views | Validating a Project | Managing a Project
- Customizing Projects | Understanding Project Data | Customizing Tags and Annotation
- Understanding Line Segments and Groups | Customizing Project Templates
- Publishing and Printing Project Drawings | Using the Report Creator | Using the Spec Editor
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 Plant 3D 2015 Training CBT:
- 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
