2D Training for Switchers from AutoCAD®/LT to BricsCAD®

This course is suitable for all CAD users who already have (some) experience with the CAD software AutoCAD®/LT and now wish to switch to BricsCAD®.

BricsCAD® is very similar to AutoCAD®/LT in terms of interface and functionality, which allows for a steep learning curve. Significantly less time is required than would be the case without prior knowledge of AutoCAD. After purchasing this training, you will also receive free access for one year to the video channel "BricsCAD 2D" on our portal www.cad-video.de (value: €300).
