Classes by Industry General Design & Drafting Project-Based Title Blocks using Fields, Attributes, and References GD115-1L 02-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm This lab session will cover all the scenarios for setting up and implementing title blocks for either a company or project requirements. We’ll look at the common methodologies used at present for utilizing title blocks, and then branch into some new directions with fields and tables. This session will also cover storage of title blocks including using templates, dynamic blocks, and tool palettes. We’ll look at the differences of attributes and fields, and make some recommendations for the usage of each. We’ll also cover the issues of inserting or referencing title blocks, and when to use each scenario. We will build several title blocks with many combinations including templates, blocks, and fields. The lessons learned will be much broader than just title blocks, and will provide some clever insights into utilizing the features of your CAD environment. 90-Minute Lab Intermediate Murano 3201 Andrew Hill, National Strategic Account Manager | AEC Systems Five Free Tools to Make Your Job Easier GD305-3 04-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Free utilities like the Drawing Cleanup Tool can speed up individual tasks and ensure that your drawings conform to department standards. Tools like Inventor LT™, the oneclick ShareNow plug-in, the Google Earth™ Extension for AutoCAD®, Autodesk Map® and Civil 3D®, and Freewheel™ can make team projects more productive by allowing you to share drawings and data more easily with colleagues in the office and out in the field. Find out how you can download these five time-saving utilities and applications for free. Learn how to use them separately and in combination with other free tools from Autodesk® Labs. Our case study approach illustrates how a typical engineer might use these tools in the context of a major pipe construction project. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3101 Benjamin Cochran, Software Architect | Autodesk EAT TEXT: Out Of The Box AutoCAD® and Excel® Integration GD311-3 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm The data extraction technology in AutoCAD provides amazing capabilities for the average office to generate intelligent and associative tables of drawing information gleaned from your linework. Discover how to link your design with spreadsheets and maintain bi-directional dataflows for generating schedules, part lists, and bill of materials. Learn how to use column filters, formula columns and other powerful features to report everything from survey points and alignment tables and lot acreages to ductwork and pipe sizings, door and windows schedules and facilities management costs. Undocumented tricks that take the extraction tools to the next level of functionality will also be discussed. It’s everything you need to know about out-of-the-box Excel integration for all AutoCAD releases. 90-Minute Class Intermediate San Polo 3505 dave espinosa-aguilar, Software Engineer | Owner Keep It Inside AutoCAD®: Data Extraction Direct to AutoCAD® Tables GD401-1P 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am Do you need to room finish schedules, parts lists, and bills of materials? For years, AutoCAD users have been creating tables for use as parts lists, bills of materials, schedules, and so on, by either laboriously creating them manually or extracting attribute data to an external file and then importing it back into AutoCAD. But this is no longer necessary. Learn how to use new tools in AutoCAD to extract attribute data directly to an AutoCAD table, and update those tables automatically when changes occur. You’ll also learn how to perform calculations on table data directly within AutoCAD and how to link AutoCAD and Excel® data into a single table that can be updated automatically. Now you can create accurate, easy-toupdate data, saving you time and money. 90-Minute Class All Levels Palazzo M-N David Cohn, Application Engineer | PPI Group Dancin’ in the Sheets! Sheet Set Functionality in AutoCAD® GD311-1P 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm If you work on any project that requires the output of multiple coordinated drawings, you are familiar with using multiple sheets. Join us as we guide you though the powerful new functionality afforded by AutoCAD Sheet Sets. Discover how Sheet Sets can solve the day-to-day tasks of managing drawings and keeping them updated. Learn how Sheets Sets can automate such functions as creating layouts, coordinating xrefs, and linking important data across an entire project. At the conclusion of this course, you will leave with knowledge of how to resourcefully create, manage, and share your entire set of sheets from a single, handy location using the Sheet Set functionality in AutoCAD. 90-Minute Class Introductory Palazzo M-N R Yoshi Honda, director of operations | U.S. CAD How to Clean Anything in AutoCAD® GD305-4 04-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Learn how to analyze, organize, and clean up datasets (projects) that you receive from various sources: old project files, translated projects, files downloaded or received from external sources, and more. You’ll also learn how to use these methods as part of your company QC/QA program. We’ll cover a wide range of possible problems and offer solutions that will automate many time-consuming cleanup and organizing tasks. 90-Minute Class All Levels Murano 3203 Helen Gorina, CAD Systems Manager | HLW 69
