Prerequisites
The intermediate classroom training candidate must understand the basics of 2D and 3D drawing navigation, as well as selection, moving and resizing objects, standard tool behavior conventions and modes. Additionally, this training requires the basics of surface object editing, as well as editing containers such as symbols, plug-in objects and groups.
Intermediate attendees must also be familiar with basic CAD layout methods such as duplicate arrays, mirroring, alignments and distribution. Attendees must also be familiar with drawing organization structures such as Layers, Classes, Saved Views, Sheets and Viewports. Must understand the purpose of the following Vectorworks palettes: object info palette, basic tool palette, the use of the heads-up display, conventions of snaps and constraints as well as the conventions the 2D/3D drafting environment.
