Autocad Mac Course - From Zero to Hero

In this video, you will learn to use the Join command along with other modifying commands to put the floor plan together including: 

• Explode

• Trim

• Mirror

In this lecture, I cover the Mirror command in detail along with Polar tracking

In this lecture, you will learn the concepts of: 

• Creating blocks

• Editing blocks

• Using Insert command to access Blocks Library window

In this lecture, we will go over what layers are and how they can help us with our project. We will also create a few of them and define the properties of each layer.

In this lecture, we will continue to work with Layer Properties and use "Match Properties" command

In this lecture, I will start by importing a layers list that I created previously which you can download from the resources section attached to this lecture.

we will also explore using "Select Similar" command

In this lecture, I will introduce you to the Leader command which is essentially an arrow.

In this lecture, I will go over the stretch command which is one of the most power tools -in my opinion - in AutoCAD

Once you get to master it, drawing & editing floor plans becomes a piece of cake! 

Beside the Hatch command, we also cover the Layer Isolation command

In this lecture, we do a quick recap and start talking about the Paper Space, Model Space, and Layouts

In this lecture, I will show you how to lock the viewport scale along with: 

• Turning the Grid On/Off in a viewport

• Changing the Paperspace background color

In this lesson, I will show you how to use the Attach command to add a logo or a picture to a titleblock. and we will block everything we drew so far to make a block out of the elements

In this lecture, I will show you how to draw the roof plan and we will use all the concepts we have used up to this point.

In this lecture, we will use the Layer Freeze command in the paper space (Layout) to filter out furniture from the floor plan and then filter out dimensions from the other floor plan to keep architectural information visible

While I was doing the last lecture, the software actually crashed and I got a window asking if I would like AutoCAD to try to recover the drawing, and I clicked "Yes" 

Anyhow, I waited about 5-10 mins before force-quitting the software and then re opened and I get the "Files Recovery" window that you can see here

In this lecture, we will start working on the exterior elevations and we will use a new drawing command "RAY" which is a great reference tool while drawing our project! 

In this lecture, we will draw the steps and railings and then proceed to placing the drawing on a sheet before detailing the elevation with doors & windows.

For doors, we will use pre-made blocks to save time and we will edit some of the blocks to fit our drawing scenario.

In this lecture, we will use all the previous techniques and workflow that I showed you to generate the second exterior elevation for our project. We will also outline all the reference lines that we'll use to generate the rest of the exterior elevations.

In this lecture, we will start working on the sections and we will add the section markers first on the floor plan.

In this lecture, I will show you how to draw the sections by referencing the outline of exterior elevations to serve as a base point for the section.

In this lecture, we will use the Publish command to export all the sheets (layouts) we created so far into a single Pdf document that has all the drawings
