Course Overview

Experienced AutoCAD users often work around limitations they don't need to live with — customization gaps, manual sheet management processes, static blocks that can't adapt to context. This one-day course is for users who know AutoCAD well and want to close those gaps with the software's most powerful advanced tools. The customization section covers the Command User Interface (CUI), options and profiles, toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts, and tool palettes. Sheet Set Manager covers templates, fields, page setups, view blocks, and callout blocks — the tool that brings order to complex multi-sheet projects. Dynamic Blocks covers the block editor, parameters, actions, and constraints that turn static blocks into intelligent, reusable content. This is a one-day course with a maximum of 12 students in-person. By the end of the day, you'll have working knowledge of AutoCAD's most powerful customization and management features — the ones that change how the software fits into your workflow, not just what you can do with it.

Prerequisites

AutoCAD Level 2 or significant AutoCAD experience.
