At various points in the classroom experience, the instructor will stop the lecture and ask
students to perform the exercises contained in this document. The exercises build upon each
other so it is important they are completed in sequence.
The exercises are based on a project plan to build a storage shed in the back yard. The plan has
already been decided for you and the exercises are designed around the shed project. The focus
should be on learning the tool, not the project itself.
As you progress through the exercises there is an expectation you will learn from the process,
instructions on how to perform subsequent tasks with similar functions will less detailed than the
first time you experience them. Refer to earlier exercises or ask the instructor if you need more
information on how to complete the exercise.
These exercises are yours to keep, feel free to make notes on them.
Please do not work ahead stay with the class.
Ask questions as needed, there are no dumb questions.
You will find multiple ways to perform activities; the exercises present one of the ways.
Please feel free to make suggestions to the instructor on how the exercises can be
improved.
Conventions used:
Exercises will be presented in outline form, with tasks offered in a sequential manner.
Areas on the screen you are to select or type in will be presented in bold italics for easy
identification.
Menu options are identified using Menu | Option format, indicating multiple menu
levels.
At the end of the exercise, a screen shot will show you what your screen should look like
for easy verification.
If you get side tracked or have alternative results, ask the instructor for a copy of the
project file at the appropriate point to get back on track without having to start from
scratch.
