AutoCAD 2009 Certified User Examination
The content of AutoCAD 2009 Tutorial - First Level: 2D Fundamentals has been expanded to cover the performance tasks that have been identified by Autodesk as being included on the AutoCAD 2009 Certified User examination.
Special reference guides show students where the performance tasks are covered in the book. The DVD included with each textbook provides a video review of each of the performance tasks.
If you are teaching an introductory level AutoCAD course and you want to prepare your students for the AutoCAD 2009 Certified User Examination this is the only book that you need. If your students are not interested in the AutoCAD 2009 Certified User examination you will know that your students will be studying the performance tasks that have been identified by Autodesk as important enough to include on the certification examination.
For detailed information on the AutoCAD Certified User examination visit www.autodesk.com/certification.
Each book comes bundled with a DVD containing two sets of videos. One set of videos present a multimedia version of the tutorial exercises contained in the book. Users see the AutoCAD 2009 interface, menu picks, and models that are created while a voice overlay explains the design activities. The other set of videos will present topics that are covered on the AutoCAD Certified User examination. These videos are intended to help users prepare for and pass the AutoCAD 2009 Certified User examination.
AutoCAD 2009 is not required to run the CD. Users can become acquainted with the AutoCAD interface and design process before working with the software.
