0001 - Course Objectives
ARES Kudo is Graebert’s online CAD program that works with the DWG format, and its operation is reminiscent of programs like ARES Commander, AutoCAD, and others.
The main difference between ARES Kudo and traditional CAD is that it runs directly from the browser, eliminating the need to install any software. To start working with ARES Kudo, users simply need to visit www.kudo.graebert.com.
“ARES Kudo: Efficient 2D CAD Design in the Cloud” is an online course designed to teach you how to work with 2D CAD tools in the cloud. The course focuses on using ARES Kudo to create and edit DWG drawings through a web browser.
Through this course, you’ll learn how to activate your account and start creating 2D CAD drawings. You’ll master essential commands like Line, Polyline, Trim, Extend, and Offset, along with the efficient use of coordinate systems, layers, and blocks. You’ll also explore how to apply and manage hatches for more detailed graphical representation.
For novice users, this course provides an accessible way to dive into the world of technical drawing. More experienced CAD users will find that ARES Kudo shares many similarities with the desktop CAD software they are already familiar with, such as AutoCAD or ARES Commander, making the transition to this cloud-based environment quick and easy.
And AutoCAD LT users will appreciate that ARES Kudo is not only a more affordable alternative, but also offers significant advantages by running in the cloud, including a broader range of collaboration tools that significantly improve team workflows.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to organize your drawing using layers, enabling you to work in a structured and efficient manner, and improving clarity and precision in your designs. You’ll also learn how to dimension and organize your drawings in Paper Space sheets with views at different scales.
Thanks to cloud-based collaboration tools, you can receive feedback and make real-time adjustments, ensuring smooth collaboration with colleagues and clients. While this course introduces these functions, we also offer specific courses that dive deeper into collaboration tools for ARES Kudo (Modern Collaboration with ARES Kudo) and ARES Trinity users (ARES Trinity Collaboration Features for DWG), which we recommend exploring to gain a more comprehensive certification.
In summary, this course is designed to help you use traditional 2D design and editing tools in a modern, cloud-based CAD environment, so you can create, edit, share, and organize your projects efficiently and collaboratively.
