Online Training > Autodesk Alias

The Autodesk Alias training course is designed for users who want to learn the tools and concepts of the software. Users will learn how to navigate the user interface and use basic object selection methods, build and control simple primitives, use construction options to create designs, create and use curves and circles in designs, and learn about surface editing tools and techniques. The course has comprehensive lessons and provides users many projects to apply what they have learned. Detail course content is given below:
