Landscape architecture must be able to convey their ideas to other professionals and clients. Good communication skills are essential and digital representation of plans and proposals are an important skill in landscape architecture in order to develop their presentations, proposals, and studies. Therefore many employers require excellent design, CAD skills, and preferably 2d and 3d rendering skills.
During the third week of this year’s focus weeks, I will have a self learning week for improving my ability for using Auto CAD.
I have found some great on-line tutorials for learnign CAD and decided to follow it's curriculums. The schedule is:
Day 1: Introduction of AotoCAD 2011, NEW, OPEN, SAVE, SAVEAS, LINE, ERASE
Day 2: OSNAP (Editing Line)
Day 3: CIRCLE, ARC
Day 4: OFFSET ,TRIM, EXTEND
Day 5: COPY ,MOVE, PAN,MIRROR, LIMITS, ZOOM
Day 6: ARRAY, FILLET,CHAMFER
Day 7: ELLIPSE,RECTANG,POLYGON
Day 8: UNITS,REGEN,LIST,DIST
Day 9: BREAK,STRETCH,LENGTHEN,JOIN
Day 10: Practice 1
Day 11: SCALE,ROTATE,AREA,BOUNDARY
Day 12: PLINE,PLEDIT,SPLINE,XLINE,RAY,EXPLODE
Day 13: POINT, DDPTYPE,DIVIDE,MEASURE,NODE
Day 14: LINETYPE,COLOR,LTSCALE,CHANGE,MATCHPROP
Day 15: LAYER
Day 16: Practice 2
Day 17: SOLID,TRACE,DONUT,FILL
Day 18: STYLE, TEXT, MTEXT, DDEDIT
Day 19: MLSTYLE, MLINE, MLEDIT
Day 20: BLOCK, WBLOCK, INSERT
Day 21: HATCH, GRADIENT, HATCHEDIT
The running time of each individual tutorial takes about 20~25 minutes. Therefore my plan is taking 2~3 tutorials everyday. I am really looking foward to that I could master CAD skills during this focus week!
