I need to take an auto cad class. Can any one recommend a good school on line, or the Denton area?

Thanks
Charlie

There is supposed to be a place in Addison that puts on weekend long classes or such. Trueblueaggie would know.

That would be exactly what I'm looking for. I just need a certificate.

I'm setting this up to move to the engineering department where I work.

Lay-ed off. Perfect time to do the auto cad thing. Looks good on a resume.:tu:


Good luck on the job hunt. Or are you going to crank up P.R. again?

Richland College is supposed to offer some non-credit CAD courses. Just depends on how fast you would like to learn. And also if you company will pay for the courses also (because of cost).

auto-cad is outdated, all the big boys are using 3-D detailing programs...

I did most of my work in AutoCad LT the 2d version.. 3D programs are a lot more to learn...

I could teach you autocad but it wouldn't count as an accredited course. Most companies don't use regular old autocad anymore because a decent 3-d package is just as cost effective and has so much more capability.

I wholly disagree that autocad should be used as a stepping stone to eventually learning 3d. I've been a ProEngineer CAD administrator for about 8 years now and the young engineers who come in with no design experience do much much better than someone who's had been using 2d software for any length of time.

Chris, we need to meet up at Denton track one Friday for test and tune. I may take you up on the software thing. And I am going before the end of the month to test out the 2800 rpm stall.
