Key details

AutoCAD Raster Design training course teaching how to convert images into objects you can work on in AutoCAD.

The AutoCAD Raster Design toolset lets you convert raster images, such as scanned drawings, aerial photos, maps, plans and satellite imagery, into vectorised DWG objects, extending their value.

Our AutoCAD Raster Design Essentials course teaches the key techniques, including the use of tools for ‘cleaning up’ and enhancing the images. Sessions include:

• Inserting and creating images.
• Tiling, saving and exporting images.
• Working with multispectral images.
• Correlating and rubbersheeting images.
• Enhancing the appearance of images.
• Editing images.
• Working with DEM data.
• Raster-to-vector conversion.

AutoCAD Raster Design Essentials training is available on-request only, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed’ course for your group. We don’t currently offer scheduled (public) AutoCAD Raster Design courses.

We can host the training at one of our centres, or your venue anywhere in the UK.

The training can be tailored to take into account any existing knowledge you have, and the work you’re going to be doing in AutoCAD Raster Design.

Accredited AutoCAD Raster Design training

Armada is an Autodesk authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our AutoCAD Raster Design training courses are accredited by Autodesk.

Expert trainers

AutoCAD Raster Design training is hosted by Autodesk Certified Instructors, with vast experience of using the application professionally.

How will I learn?

AutoCAD Raster Design training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainers teach the necessary theory then demonstrate techniques step-by-step. You then practice the techniques taught on a computer running AutoCAD Raster Design.

There is plenty of time to ask questions, and you can take away all the files you create.

Training guide and certificate

Course delegates receive:

• A comprehensive training guide for AutoCAD Raster Design, to refer to throughout the course, and to use as a refresher afterwards.
• An e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited AutoCAD Raster Design training course. This is emailed to delegates directly from Autodesk. Click here to see an example of the certificate you receive.

After course support

Following AutoCAD Raster Design training, delegates are entitled to 30 days’ email support from their AutoCAD Raster Design trainer to help with any post-course issues.
