Description

With so many AutoCAD users around the world, it’s essential to know how to wield the built-in power of annotative dimensions. As an architect, engineer, or building and construction management professional, annotative dimensions allow you to place dimension annotation at varying scales in your layout viewports to ensure that your designs are effectively communicated to the contractor on the job site, the production team on the factory floor, or the interior designer at the office.

In this course, join Autodesk Certified Instructor and Autodesk Expert Elite Shaun Bryant to learn more about why design communication is imperative for all AutoCAD users. Explore the fundamentals of annotative dimensioning along with the associated styles and families to build your AutoCAD skill set. As you progress through the course, Shaun shows you how to take advantage of cool, easy-to-use dimensioning tricks, such as working with overrides, deleting and purging styles and families, utilizing geometry, and creating annotative dimensions with active layout viewports.

Instructor's Courses

With over 34 years of industry experience, I'm an Autodesk Certified Instructor for AutoCAD and Revit Architecture, combined with CAD managerial skills and sales, support & technical expertise. This extensive skill-set has been honed whilst working as a consultant, trainer, CAD manager and CAD user with a varied background as a CAD/BIM and CAFM consultant and trainer, in addition to time spent as a CAD manager and some time spent in sales, pre-sales and business development. I am a published online [in]structor for LinkedIn Learning (previously Lynda.com) with numerous online courses in the library on AutoCAD and Revit. I also produce bespoke training courses and manuals for clients. I'm an Autodesk Expert Elite and was previously a Director on the Board of AUGI, with numerous articles published in world-class publications such as Cadalyst and AUGIworld. I am also a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Certiport, developing Autodesk Certification for both AutoCAD and Revit Architecture, as well as being an SME for graphics card manufacturer, AMD. I am also the founder and author of the reputable CAD blog, Not Just CAD!, which now has it's own LinkedIn newsletter and will be going live with a LinkedIn Live video podcast very soon! As a veteran Autodesk University (AU) speaker, I am a seasoned AU Speaker Mentor (and Emeritus), providing expertise and guidance to novice AU speakers. My specialties are as follows: Autodesk Expert Elite, Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI), Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) in both AutoCAD and Revit, AutoCAD Influencer, Autodesk consultant & trainer, independent Autodesk FM consultant, blogger and previous AUGI Board Director, AU Speaker Mentor, and veteran AU Speaker (fourteen years as a speaker at AU and counting....) NOTE: You will often find SCB in the studio, guitar in hand, writing new songs. It is also rumoured that he is the Geico Gecko voice 'double', and is the body double for British comedian Ricky Gervais. He also dabbles in the magical art of Tinkercad, and has published 'Tinkercad For Dummies' via Wiley Publishing.
