Description

AutoCAD Fundamentals is a course that focuses on the use of the AutoCAD software. AutoCAD is CAD software that is used globally in the engineering, construction, and design industries for drafting and modeling. It is built to assist in creating, modifying, optimizing, and sharing accurate information on drawings. In this course, the right skills for its usage were well illustrated. AutoCAD is one of the most popular Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs developed to help professionals design products, buildings, or structures without having to draw up plans manually. It has many in-built tools to help engineers, architects, or designers work on individual projects.

This is an AutoCAD 2D course that would introduce you to some drawing features, and likewise, there is a project that will aid the learning process. At the end of the course, you should be able to pick up projects and designs in your respective industries.

The following were covered in this course:

Getting familiar with the interface, AutoCAD drawing tools, AutoCAD modification tools, Precision tools, Layer management, Annotation tools, Leader, Hatch, Blocks and attributes, External reference, Parametric constraint, Orthographic and isometric drawing, Plotting and publishing

This is the course for you if you want to learn how to use AutoCAD and related software.
