Signed up for the class, going to it in about 4 hours. Looked at the syllabus. Seems difficult.
We're working with AutoCAD which I have heard of before but never really used or seen used. Engineers apparently use it to design buildings, mechanical blueprints(not sure), etc. So if anybody has any experience with that program, is it difficult to use?
I know the fact that I'm asking a forum on the Flood about Engineering probably makes me sound dumb, but I figured there has to be some Engineers or at least Engineering students on here that have taken this class.
Thanks

AutoCAD is an awesome piece of software once you learn all of the shortcut keys. You couldn't ask me how to draw certain things through their "ribbon" interface. Until you learn the shortcut keys, and where things are located in the program, it might be slightly difficult. However, that's a minor bump, and it's smooth sailing past that. I don't recommend trying Inventor on your own (unless you find a good guide) once you get used to AutoCAD because the whole process is backwards between the two (Inventor starts 3D then 2D, AutoCAD is 2D then 3D).
