AutoDesk Product Teacher
Hello,
Recently I was (have) stopped working due to medical reasons. My background is in Engineering but my most recent position was teaching AutoCAD and Inventor at TAFE (QLD).
So if anyone has any questions or would like to learn more about these programs feel free to give me a yell (I think I will have a lot of free time on my hands).
I also have no problems drafting anything for people (probably no commercial work unless agreed) however I would prefer to teach people how to achieve what they are after!
Just a thought and a chance to say HELLO.
Cheers

Hi NB, this was great of you to offer to teach AutoCAD. What a generous gesture
I have it installed but have never learnt to use it. Was thinking of going to TAFE next year to learn. I too am of an Engineering background in Electricity Utilities- Poles and Wires
What book do you recommend getting?
PS After I retired, my medical condition improved dramaticallyregards,

I did the nm06-cad A and ea065-cadB from the Gladstone tafe externally.
This is great for the basic use of autocad.
I found that if you don't have background in drawing, (I loved it at school)
it is very hard to grasp the concept. Drafting on a computer is the same as on paper, so this background is beneficial.
As part of the course you will have to buy a book Autocad 20** a problem solving approach. Published by Thomson.
This only covers 2d, 3d is a foreign language as far as I'm concerned.
I would do this an then ask questions for the thing not understood.

thanks Robert, this sounds encouraging. I hadn't thought of external studies.
How much did the course cost?regards,

It was only a couple of hundred dollars as I recall, most of that was for the referrence book, but it was a few years ago now.

My recommendation is the latest book by Albert w Boundy (fishpond.com.au and I think it should be 7th edition)it has a lot of background and exercises. This book is focused on technical drawing rather than CAD. For cad I would recommend sites such as HowToAutoCAD.com and cad tutor. Finally for the specific drafting standards engineers Australia has a publication hb 7.7 (found on the engineers aus website).
As for courses the Cert 3 is between a few hundred to just under 1000 depending on your personal situation ie. Ausstudy
