Autodesk Downloads
Autodesk has a student portal in which you can do things such as download some programs, and look at their job board on which they have some possible open positions. They do not have AutoCAD, but they have Autodesk Civil 3D, which is similar to AutoCAD program, and uses all the commands you will learn in the Introductory to AutoCAD class. When you download this program, be sure to select the option to “Download ADT as AutoCAD 2007”. This is a radio button. If you do this, Autodesk Civil 3D will download as a separate program, but you will also get the ADT version of AutoCAD.
The web address is
students4.autodesk.com
When you go here, you will be prompted to enter a user name and a password. They will also ask you for an e-mail address.
Use your ITT e-mail address ending in .edu. Autodesk is making the site available to students only, and the way they know you are a student is if you have an .edu extension in your e-mail address.
This is only for your home computers! Auto-Desk will not allow you to download this program more than once, so if you download it at school, you will not be allowed to download it a second time at home. It is possible to have Autodesk reset your privileges (for example if you get a new computer) by asking them to reset it in the SEND US FEEDBACK section at the bottom of the Student Portal. Once downloaded, the subscription lasts for one year.
I cannot guarantee that you will be successful with your download. If you run into trouble, you may try the “SEND US FEEDBACK” option, and explain the issue.
Remember, when using AutoCAD 2007, you must save as an earlier version of AutoCAD, since the school is currently running AutoCAD 2006
Also, remember – ALL AUTODESK PROGRAMS YOU WILL NEED ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOU AT SCHOOL

About the Civil Drafting Class
There are two learning objectives for this class. The first is to learn about civil engineering. This is a very broad field, but in this course, we will focus on learning how to create maps and record aspects of geography and topography. The project, however, will allow you to explore another aspect of engineering in which you may have an interest. The second objective is to introduce you to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). We will use the textbook, Civil Drafting and an Introduction to GIS, for this course.

Maps and Legends
Use the internet to find three different types of maps. Maps would be considered different from one another according to the list of map types on the handout from today’s notes. Each map you choose should have a legend with at least four items.
For each map, figure out what type of map it is according to the list of maps on the handout, and look at the legend to interpret what the map is explaining.
Print out both the maps and the legend for each map on separate
8 1/2 x 11 sheets.
We’ll discuss all your findings after you complete the activity.

Drawing a simple 3D circular stairway
We will explain a 3D circular one. Please remember, the way mentioned here is just one method, you can develop your own method.
Figure.1 The 3D view of our destination object
Firstly, let us form the plan view of the stairs and then transform it to 3D.
Figure.2 Drawing stairs by using closed POLYLINE
Set the view angle to isometric by browsing ‘View<3d>Sw isometric'
Figure.3 Transforming the stairs to 3D by using EXTRUDE
We assign height to stairs by using EXTURDE command which is 18 units this time. MOVE them over and over starting from the second one.
Figure.4 Move the stairs respectively one by one
Move them like the figure above. You can move them a little higher if there is a lap between stairs. To move them, pick the bottom right corner of the one to be moved and select top left corner of the destination object.

BIG COMPANIES AROUND THE WORLD, ARUP
Arup has played a major role in helping shape Beijing’s modern landscape. This is evident not only in the stunning sporting structures, but also in the work Arup has done planning Beijing’s road and rail network, in promoting sustainable and energy-efficient practices and in the design of landmark buildings.
Solutions for a Modern City: Arup in Beijing takes a close look at Arup’s collaborative involvement in some of the key venues for the 2008 Olympics: the National Stadium known as the “Bird’s Nest”; the National Aquatics Centre known as the “Water Cube” and the National Convention Centre/Fencing Hall. The book also features an in-depth look at other iconic projects including China Central Television (CCTV) Headquarters; China World Trade Centre Phase 3; Beijing South Station and the Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3. All projects featured are designed by teams of world-class architects and engineers, such as that forged between OMA and Arup in the design and realization of the CCTV Headquarters.

Overview of Computer Aided Design/Drafting/Design Technology
Employment opportunities exist for both women and men. This field prepares graduates for careers as CAD (Computer Aid Design) operators and designers in construction, engineering and manufacturing. Since all manufactured items and construction projects must be designed and drawn before production, the need for trained design/drafting personnel will increase as the economy grows. Almost every type of industry and government agency employs designers.What do graduates of the program do?
CAD operators convert ideas, sketches, specifications and instructions of engineers, architects, and designers into plans and details, which are used in making machinery, equipment, structures and products. Much of today’s drafting is now done on computers using computer aided-drafting (CAD) and other software programs.
What is the job outlook for graduates?
According to the United States Department of Labor, employment of drafters is expected to grow from 10 to 20 per cent each year through 2010. Industrial growth and increasingly complex design problems associated with new products and manufacturing processes will increase the demand for drafting services. Further, drafters are beginning to break out of the traditional drafting role and do work traditionally performed by engineers and architects. Thus the need for drafters continues to increase.
