Abstract
Many students in landscape design courses do not have experience in use of the computer for drafting designs. University and college situations, where computer laboratories may have only AutoCAD® installed on the computers, present an obstacle to horticulture students in that CAD courses are not ideally suited to their specific needs, and also require considerable time in doing the typical CAD assignments. Yet, if students could graduate with some basic experience in the application of AutoCAD® to landscape design drafting, they would be better equipped to meet employer needs for personnel prepared to handle computer drafting. A self-paced training manual with an embedded tutorial program has been developed with exercises that introduce the student to the basic commands and capabilities of AutoCAD®. This program takes the student through application of these commands to a landscape design layout. It contains a library of plant symbols and allows the student to design new symbols. The program also gives the student the ability to generate a materials and price report for every design generated.
