Description

AutoCAD Essentials Training enables students to create a basic 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software. Even at this fundamental level, the AutoCAD software is one of the most sophisticated computer applications that you are likely to encounter. Therefore learning to use it can be challenging.

This training covers the essential core topics for working with the AutoCAD software. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop those tools. More advanced tools are also introduced throughout the training.

  • Understanding the AutoCAD workspace and user interface.
  • Using basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools.
  • Organizing drawing objects on layers.
  • Inserting reusable symbols (blocks).
  • Preparing a layout to be plotted.
  • Adding text, hatching, and dimensions.

By the end of the course, participants should be able to:

    • Drawing a 2D layout with Basic Drawing Tool
    • Manage User Coordinate System
    • Managing a drawing with Layers
    • Annotate drawings and plotting
    • Create more complex surfaces and modifying solids
    • Organize drawing for Modeling & Rendering

    FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTION

    What is Autodesk AutoCAD?
    AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software that is used for precise 2D and 3D drafting, design, and modeling with solids, surfaces, mesh objects, documentation features, and more.

    It includes features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects, and creating tables. It also comes with seven industry-specific toolsets for electrical design, plant design, architecture layout drawings, mechanical design, 3D mapping, adding scanned images, and converting raster images.

    AutoCAD enables users to create, edit, and annotate drawings via desktop, web, and mobile devices.

    Who uses AutoCAD?
    Autodesk AutoCAD is used by students, architects, designers, engineers, project managers, real estate developers, and construction professionals to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.

    Autodesk AutoCAD equips architects, engineers, and construction professionals with precision tools to:

      • Design and annotate 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects

      • Automate drafting tasks to place objects with AI, compare drawings, create schedules, publish layouts, and more

      • Maximize productivity with customized workspaces, AutoLISP, APIs, and apps
