AutoCAD and CADWorx Training in Houston

Anthony Horn has been active in the Houston engineering community since the late 1960s. He has degrees in both engineering and architecture, and has done a wide variety of drafting and design projects.

His school, the Horn Drafting & CAD Center, has trained over 5000 graduates for Houston's industries. His school was the first in Houston to offer computer aided drafting (CAD) to the public in 1982. The school has maintained a reputation for high quality training in AutoCAD® operations, with a special focus on Pipe Drafting using CADWorx® software. Many of his students have had long and successful careers at such firms as Mustang Engineering, Jacobs, Kellogg Brown & Root, Chevron, and many others.

In 1993 Anthony Horn began working for ECAD, Inc., while continuing his school's operations. In the next few years, ECAD, Inc. quickly grew, and became the largest CADWorx software dealer in the world. This opportunity allowed him to see how engineering designers apply CADWorx software to solve everyday problems, and gain an understanding of best practices and high productivity techniques.

In 2007 Anthony Horn wrote, produced, and recorded the Mastering CADWorx Plant Professional video training course. This course has become the recognized standard for training materials in learning CADWorx software. The course includes over 150 video recordings and a 350 page workbook. Anthony Horn's other publications include copyrighted training courses written for use at his Houston school, and he was a contributing author to The CAD/CAM Handbook (McGraw Hill, 1985) and Pipe Drafting & Design (Gulf Publishing, 1995).

In 2011 Anthony Horn created the http://www.PipingDesignOnline.com website for online CADWorx training. The site includes courses that students can take to advance their skills and earn certificates. The site also can accommodate private training areas for companies that want a customized solution for their in-house CADWorx training needs.
