Getting Started with AdaCAD

This workshop will introduce you to our interface, including both the workspace and draft editor, and help you create your first dataflow. Attendees will be guided through the activity and will have time for asking questions and answers. The workshop will be recorded and shared after the event. This workshop will assume that attendees have a basic understanding of weaving and drafting.
