    In this series of lectures, students will learn about the using AutoCAD Architecture to support the Design Process. This software is widely used in the building industry and it is good to begin becoming familiar with it. We will go over some of the basic functions and utilize it to create digital plans and a 3D Model of a design. The first video will discuss how to download the software as a student at no cost.

    To access the software go to AutoDesks website and begin setting up your educational profile to gain access to download it. We are using AutoCAD Architecture 2020 or later.

Description

Are you ready to master AutoCAD from beginner to professional level?

This comprehensive AutoCAD course takes you from zero experience to confidently creating professional 2D drawings and 3D models used in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to upgrade your AutoCAD skills, this course gives you everything you need, in the fastest, most practical way possible.

AutoCAD is the world's #1 CAD software, used by architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, interior designers, and drafters globally. Learning AutoCAD opens doors to higher-paying jobs, freelance work, and industry certifications like the Autodesk Certified User (ACU) exam.


This AutoCAD course covers:

AutoCAD interface, coordinate systems, drawing units, and navigation

Drawing and editing tools — move, copy, rotate, trim, offset, mirror, fillet, chamfer, and more

Text, dimensions, annotations, leaders, and dimension styles

Layers, linetypes, properties, and Layer States Manager

Dynamic blocks for doors, windows, and furniture

3D solid modeling — boolean operations, UCS, and dynamic 3D views

Xrefs, Sheet Set Manager, and advanced annotation scaling

Plotting, plot styles, and exporting to PDF and electronic formats


Why learn AutoCAD with this course?

This isn't a theory course. Every lesson is hands-on and project-based, so you learn by doing. By the end, you'll have a portfolio-ready set of drawings, floor plans, 3D models, and professional layouts — that you can show to employers or clients.
