ARES Kudo is Graebert’s online CAD program that works with the DWG format, and its operation is reminiscent of desktop CAD 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.

“Advanced CAD Workflows with ARES Kudo” is a higher-level course designed to delve deeper into the more complex tools and workflows of 2D CAD in the cloud, using ARES Kudo. This course is aimed at professionals who already have a solid understanding of basic CAD design and want to enhance their efficiency and productivity through advanced tools.

The great advantage of ARES Kudo is that it enables immediate access from any place with an Internet connection. Throughout this course, we will focus on improving CAD workflows through the use of external references, which facilitate collaboration on large-scale projects and the coordination of various DWG files. You will also learn to create and manage nested blocks, which will help save time on repetitive tasks and improve project organization.

This course covers:

• The advanced use of external references to link DWG files. 
• How to optimize the handling of external references for large collaborative projects.
• The creation and management of nested blocks, which allow for efficient structuring of repetitive components.
• An introduction to parametric blocks and blocks with attributes, which provide greater flexibility and control over design elements.
• Advanced strategies for drawing organization, such as creating sheets with scaled views and configuring them properly for professional presentations.

The course also highlights the advantages of cloud-based collaboration, taking full advantage of ARES Kudo’s tools for comments, reviews, and markups that enable a more streamlined and effective workflow between teams.

This course is ideal for professionals who:

• Want to enhance their 2D CAD skills in both desktop and cloud environments.
• Will learn to streamline workflows and improve efficiency.
• Aim to fully utilize ARES Kudo and its cloud-based collaboration tools for team projects.

Prerequisites:

Before starting this course, students should be familiar with basic 2D CAD commands. Also, each student must possess an active ARES Kudo license (Individual, ARES Trinity, or Professional Plan), or activate the 30-day trial version.

In summary, this course will prepare you to tackle more complex projects using advanced tools and efficient workflows in a fully cloud-based CAD environment. You will maximize ARES Kudo's capabilities to enhance productivity and collaboration in your projects.
