Have you been curious about whether CAD is right for you, but scared to give it a try? Maybe you just want to improve your CAD skills. Join this interactive, hands-on clas to get an in-depth lesson on CAD basics, as well as an understanding of blocks and how to work with them inside of CAD. By the end of the session, you'll also be able to bring in imagery or additional external referenced files (known as Xrefs) and set up a plan to start your irrigation designs. Areas that will be covered include CAD basics, blocks and CAD sybology (how to represent elements of irrigation design with CAD) and introduction to irrigation design in CAD (drawing setup, bringing in aerial images and PDFs, layers and block selection). Laptops will be provided.
