Description

This course will teach you how to learn AutoCAD from scratch and become confident in your CAD work. The course starts with an introduction; then we move on to introduce some basic drawing commands and modifying tools. We also look at some smart drawing tools like arrays that help us create drawings quickly. We dive deeper into many AutoCAD commands in the course with the aim of helping the student become fully proficient and confident. You will learn how to create drawings using various commands, add hatches, and add some annotations like dimensions and text to your working drawings. You will also learn how to create parametric drawings, and by the end of the course, you will be able to print professional blueprints that are friendly and presentable. You will learn how to create isometric drawings as well in CAD and also how to customize the user interface using the Manage tab customization panel. Lastly, we introduce some CAD projects as practice. We also work on a building plan where we create floor plans, elevations, and also sections. This exercise solidifies the learner's knowledge on CAD. So if you have been looking for a place to learn CAD, especially AutoCAD, you have come to the right place.
