Learn to draw lines, polylines, and points in AutoCAD 2020 by entering coordinates, distances, and angles to create precise, connected shapes with perpendicular and horizontal or vertical guidance.

Learn to draw a rectangle in AutoCAD 2020 by specifying the first corner, entering an area to auto-calculate length and width, and rotating the shape to set angles and dimensions.

Master copy and move operations in AutoCAD 2020 by selecting a reference point, using the center, and setting distances for precise shape placement.

Master six methods to draw circles in AutoCAD 2020, including direct radius or diameter entry, center-based drawing, two-point and three-point methods, circle through points, and tangent options.

Learn to use the AutoCAD 2020 offset command to reproduce walls and architectural planes, set precise distances, and create multiple offsets for interior and exterior walls and circles.

Learn to use the mirror command in AutoCAD 2020 to copy and reflect lines, align at midpoints, and manage edits to mirror geometry.

Learn to rotate objects in AutoCAD 2020 by selecting a base point and entering 45 degree angles. Apply clockwise or counterclockwise rotation to lines and shapes using a consistent reference.

Apply fillet in AutoCAD 2020 to create rounded corners, adjust radius values (including 90-degree corners), and join line segments to close gaps on walls.

Learn to create precise chamfers in AutoCAD 2020 by selecting the first and second lines, setting distances and angles, to control chamfering accuracy.

Master extend and trim commands in AutoCAD 2020 to join lines, delete excess segments, and refine baselines for clean architectural shop drawing plans.

Learn how to use the x line tool in AutoCAD 2020 to create vertical and horizontal reference lines and grids, draw rectangles, and manage angles for architectural layouts.

Learn to create and edit hatch patterns in AutoCAD 2020, apply gradients and colors, adjust scale, and use boundary objects to hatch complex areas in architectural shop drawings.

Create and manage layers in AutoCAD 2020, assign color, line weight, and line type, and organize architectural and structural elements, using quick select and match properties to apply layer settings.

Learn to use the AutoCAD 2020 multi-line tool, set line justification (top, bottom, center), and draw double lines to speed exterior drawings, with scale, grids, and offset.

Learn multiple methods to draw arcs in AutoCAD 2020, including three-point, center-radius, and start-end angle approaches, with direction control and radius specifications.

Learn to use scale and stretch in AutoCAD 2020 to resize drawings accurately. Apply scale by reference and adjust distances with a base point.

Learn to create and edit text in AutoCAD 2020 using multi-line text, adjust size, color, italic, underline, superscript and subscript, alignment, and line spacing.

Create, edit, and style dimensions in AutoCAD 2020, including linear, angular, radius, and alignment dimensions, and set standard properties for dimensions in projects.

Create an architectural shop drawing in AutoCAD 2020 by setting up axes and layers, drawing lines and circles with specified radii, and applying a circular array with tangents and dimensions.

Open the print dialog, select paper size and orientation, choose color or monochrome, center the drawing, preview, and save the AutoCAD 2020 project for printing.
