Not every one uses Autodesk products in the same way. This is what may make your company a leader in your field and we recognize that there may be certain Autodesk tools that can make you more productive. AEC instructors have the knowledge and experience to customize training to suit your specific work environment and the demands of your particular industry. Get training just for those features you use most, or customize our standard classes to suit your needs.
To gain the most from Autodesk vertical products such as Architectural Desktop, Revit, Civil 3D, Inventor, Vault, and Buzzsaw, you must have a professional implementation plan because the power of using these tools relies on the initial configuration, set up and proper training. Experience shows that those who invest in a "Quick Start" program can yield up to a 50% increase in productivity. Those who go it alone often fail or end up using the products with marginal results. AEC CAD Solutions Quick Start program is based on the Autodesk standard implementation plan refined with special needs as defined by our customers.
Our "Over the Shoulder" training program is where one of our certified instructors will come to your site and work with you on a whole project, or parts of a project depending upon what your needs are. Call for more details. Over-the-shoulder consultation and follow-up while you are in production mode will resolve unanticipated issues and ensure that users are leveraging the new software capabilities and processes are running smoothly.
Need to find out where your users' strengths lie? What part of the process could be automated, if only you knew how? Our staff will sit down with you, find out your organization's needs, expectations and processes, and then tailor an assessment test for you. We can even put together different types of tests for different types of users. Use this information to fully implement your software and get the most out of your investment.
What do you expect your new hires to know? How can you be sure which candidate has the right software skills for the job? Let AEC CAD Solutions set up assessment tests that not only query their CAD skills but also test their knowledge of your industry, based on your requirements.
AEC CAD Solutions is a member of the Autodesk Developer Network and currently markets two software programs. If the way you use an Autodesk product is repetitious, you may be better off creating automatic routines that will do the drafting for you. If you think you are a prospect for automation of your CAD system give us a call. Following are two examples of projects completed at AEC CAD Solutions.
Automated Building Design System (ABDS) is a rules based program designed for the pre-manufactured home building market. By entering information into a data screen, ABDS will then draw the home, create a bill and material. One of our customers spent 8 hours drafting a moduler home design, with ABDS the same design is now completed in one hour.
Cadamatic is a drawing translator that converts Helix, Micro CADAM, of CADAM files into the Autodesk DWG format. With over 1 million files successfully translated, Cadamatic is probably one of the most thorough and complete translators on the market.
