We plan to add updated 2D/3D CAD Tutorials (for VariCAD) here soon. In the mean time, VariCAD CAD Software Tutorials are still available at the VariCAD's home page and International
web-site
VariCAD Tutorial Page
(other demo content is available at that site also).
The VariCAD site (link above) provides some examples of 2D drawing and 3D modeling. Each example contains an animated flash, set of related images and description. The examples include step-by-step instructions for how to build 2D and 3D CAD models from scratch. 2D drawing is demonstrated when creating 2D profiles, which are then used for 3D extrusion later. After finishing the creation of the 2D profiles, 3D editing is demonstrated.
Other examples, like creation of 2D from 3D, sheet metal unbending, assemblies or shells use the existing files. Note that if you install the 30-day free trial software, the 2D drawings and 3D objects created in the particular steps are available in the directory samples\tutorial in the VariCAD installation. In general, to determine which file is being used in the online tutorials, see the File Name that appears in the VariCAD window upper frame.
