Jeff Bartels is officially the GOAT CAD wizard! I never leave a video of his without learning something useful that helps me in my day to day use of this software. Tons of respect and appreciation for Jeff and Jerry Bartels and their generous sharing of knowledge. Much <3

Jeff, I've been running ACAD since 1987. There has never been a training session that you have ever taught, where I don't learn something new!! LOL. thanks so much. You tube has been proliferated with thousands of videos for green horns. finally I find the 30-min workout series, and its so nice to have some content developed for experienced operators.

[Sbill]

It never fails...I learn something new from every single one of your videos. Great stuff Jeff!

[billalovitch]

[stevedavidson]

So many great tips, watching these sessions is a great use of 30 mins

[pritammudaliyar]

Thank you Jeff for explaining in a very simple way, straight to memory

[ratonlo]

Wow you should teach everything! Aside from the information, the way you engage with our attention is a work of art THANK YOU!

[aschalewbalcha]

Dear Jeff
I don't know how to say, you are wonderful teacher and my father of cad. Sooner or later i will follow you path and release cad in our language. Thank you

Priceless content! As someone who never used Vanilla AutoCAD but started my career straight away in Civil 3D (which I think has benefited me greatly with regard to my learning all the ins and outs of Civil 3D) I find I am often slowed up by the basic (often tedious) AutoCAD tasks every project still requires. These sessions are goldmines to a user like me as they reveal more efficient workflows that I would have never found on my own or even on the Autodesk Knowledge Network as I wouldn't have known what to look for. Very awesome and generous of you to share. Greatly appreciated.

[jorgecorea]

Thank You Jeff, it is Greatfull to have your youtube channel and see this tips

[AdamPFarnsworth]

Dangit man... I clicked on this thinking "I know *a lot* about C3D, but I might pick up a thing or 2 here"...

You've blown my mind with many of these. I've already taken a sheet-full of notes to pass on to my coworkers. This is gonna make me look brilliant!

Thanks for the video!

[shaunwright]

Decided to visit these comments in the middle of my work day to thank you. I've already used the search tool in the header several times and have been copying layouts with the cntrl+click drag a lot. Seriously love these videos! Despite using CAD for several years I JUST realized that I can pan orthogonally by clicking pan, and then holding shift. Normally combos with clicks you hold the key down first, which would result in a 3D rotate. My point in this being, that perhaps navigation should be a portion of a future video. Seems like something super basic, but that makes it easy to overlook things. Big thanks Jeff! Love these videos.

Thanks Jeff I’ve learnt so much from you over the years.
