I’ve kept in touch with Ken Leary, the ATP Coordinator and Board Member for AUGI, and I agreed with him that it would be a great idea to post the course again. This course covers everything from the very basic purpose and application of AutoCAD Fields all the way to the most complex implementation of customized Fields into the Sheet Set Manager, AutoCAD Tables, and Dynamic Blocks.

All the content from last year will be available again. However, if you took part in it, you’ll know that I added several bonus exercises to the course forum. Not only will that bonus material be posted, but I’ve created even more exercises and will offer them as well. In addition to the course material, though, I stay pretty active on the forum threads in order to answer any questions you might have during the run of the ATP course.

This extra material and Q/A opportunities will only be available on the AUGI ATP forum for the course and you’ll have to register in order to access it. If you are interested (and I hope you are), please follow this link to the AUGI ATP registration page in order to sign up for the ATP 259 “FIELD of Study” class. Also, if you aren’t a member of AUGI, register now for free here.

Download the course documents, review the bonus material, and get involved on the forum.

I’m instructing the June class called ‘FIELD of Study’. This course is going to pull a lot from the May posts on Indydrafter.com for content, but I’m going to refine and repackage the material to better fit handouts. I’m also going to add a few points of interest in the course sections to elaborate on some of the features of Fields. In addition, I’ve got a few ideas that I think will add value for those participating in the course forum. Hopefully this is enough incentive to register for those of you already following my tutorial series.

For those that don’t know, I don’t have years and years of professional experience with Autodesk products. However, here is a shameless self-promotion via a quote by AUGI ATP Coordinator, Ken Leary:

“It’s been my opinion that years of experience in a profession don’t always indicate a person’s ability to quickly learn a program and teach it to others. In fact, I receive emails from people with 20+ years of experience who aren’t nearly as articulate as you are in your email and on your blog.”

I’ll leave you with that, although if you aren’t a member of AUGI, do me a favor and signup here and register for my ATP course.
