Overview
Includes a 148-page online manual, 26 exercises. This course is recommended for anyone who uses external databases, GIS, or facilities management information in conjunction with maps. Course emphasizes tools for linking and querying data in a graphical environment. AutoCAD (drafting) functionality will not be included in this course; please see AutoCAD classes for topics not relating to geographic data analysis. Recommended prerequisites: AutoCAD AutoCAD Level 1 and 2.

Topics
Data query, analysis and editing, modification of entities from several drawings during one work session, database linking, viewing of MS Access and Dbase files through the project workspace, topology creation and editing, topology analysis, thematic mapping, boundary trimming, data exchange with other mapping products.

Overview
Includes a 57-page online manual and four instructional videos. Autodesk Navisworks software for Building Information Modeling (BIM) can help architecture, engineering, and construction professionals improve control over project outcomes by enabling 3D models and multiformat data to be integrated and shared for review between all project stakeholders.
This online training manual will introduce the key components of the program. It covers the Navisworks interface, working with Navisworks file types, navigation tools, sectioning, selecting tools, modifying objects, measuring objects, the TimeLiner and Clash Detective. The TimeLiner comes with both Simulate and Manage, while the Clash Detective is only a part of Manage. Recommended prerequisites: None.

Topics
Introduction to Navisworks Freedom, Simulate & Manage, Interface, Important Options, File Types (NWD, NWC & NWF) and Managing Files, Navigation Tools, Sectioning, Selecting Objects, Modifying Objects, Measurement, Redlines and Comments, TimeLiner, Clash Detective (Manage). This manual will not cover the Scripter, Animator or Presenter.

Overview
Includes a 29-page online manual and four instructional videos. This training manual focuses on the tools for overlaying, editing, and plotting raster images in combination with vector information from AutoCAD. Raster Design provides raster display, image enhancement, and plotting capabilities for satellite imagery, scanned aerial photographs, or color TIFF images within AutoCAD. Overlay photographic images behind maps, plan and profile sheets, and other construction documents for site feasibility studies, GIS, presentation drawings, and more. Raster Design also allows editing of raster images. “Heads-up” digitizing improves speed and accuracy. Scanned drawings may be converted completely to AutoCAD files or partially revised and plotted as hybrid raster/vector drawings. Learn editing tools to locate, draw, erase, and change raster as easily as vector.
Recommended prerequisites: AutoCAD Level I and II.

Topics
Learn editing tools to locate, erase, and change raster as easily as vector. Rubbersheeting tools facilitate more exact georeferencing. Overlay photographic images behind maps, plan and profile sheets, and other construction documents for site feasibility studies, presentation drawings, GIS, and more. Use the Palette Manager to change the colors of the image like layers in an AutoCAD drawing. "Heads-up" digitizing improves speed and accuracy. Line following routines can be used for automated conversion of contour data. Text recognition routines convert raster text to AutoCAD text objects. Scanned drawings may be converted completely to AutoCAD vectors or partially revised and plotted as hybrid raster/vector drawings.
