[charlie]

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

Thanks

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

[charlie]

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

I was gonna do the same thing before I got laid


off...

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).

I took a few couses at North Texas Central College in Corinth right off 35.

auto-cad is outdated, all the big boys are using 3-D detailing programs...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

[SILVER2000SVT]

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.

I have Solid works if u need it..or any program for that matter.:icon_razz:

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.
