AutoCAD Video Tutorial ~ Introduction to Design Center

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

I just wanted to let everybody know that I just finished my first AutoCAD video tutorial. It’s called: “Introduction to Design Center”. My goal for these free AutoCAD tutorials is to provide you with short AutoCAD tutorials that will cover not only the features of AutoCAD, but also how to actually draw projects like floorplans, elevations, etc.

This video explains how to use AutoCAD Design Center, and how ArchBlocks.com CAD block libraries are organized to help with your block library management. After all, it’s about working efficiently, and as quickly as possible.

So enjoy my very first video tutorial, and please feel free to add any comments on how I can improve these AutoCAD video lessons.

Thanks, Kevin

Please let me know if you have any questions about the video tutorial for AutoCAD Design Center.
