September 12, 2015 – Laurie Autio
Fiberworks
This workshop is for Fiberworks on PCs. (not Apple)
Fiberworks is a powerful and versatile program for computer drafting.
Many tasks can be accomplished in more than one way, and there are a number
of shortcuts which will improve efficiency. This introduction to Fiberworks
will cover basics and shortcuts for entering and manipulating drafts, color
control, printing, preferences, and file handling. If time permits we will
look at some of the more advanced tools available or answer individual questions.
Handout fee $2. (to be paid to instructor at the workshop)
Students need to bring a laptop with latest version of the program installed
or the free demo of latest version installed. It is ok to come without a computer
but you probably won’t get as much out of watching as working along.
Maximum: 15 Please register by July 31st so we can let Laurie know the attendance count.
