Explore AutoCAD's special function keys for grid mode, auto mode, tracking, and object snap options such as end point, center, midpoint, and intersection, plus the parallel line tool.
Explore advanced editing tools in AutoCAD, mastering rectangular, polar, and path arrays to copy and align objects, then use break, join, and polyline conversion for precise design.
Create and insert blocks in AutoCAD using defined base points and object selection, then use Autodesk Design Center to import blocks from other drawings.
Learn how AutoCAD 2017 can import PDFs as vector geometry, converting lines, circles, and text directly into the drawing. Adjust placement, scale, rotation, and layer options to preserve structure.
Master AutoCAD annotations with single line and multi-line text, including start points, height, rotation, and editing differences. Compare formatting options, styles, justification, columns, and spellcheck for efficient annotations.
Learn to create and edit multileaders in AutoCAD, choosing text or block content, adjusting alignment, spacing, and leader style, and applying pre-defined or customized multileader styles.
Explore annotations in AutoCAD and learn to work with tables, including insertion options, table styles, data links and object data, plus attaching and editing raster images.
Explore surface modelling in AutoCAD by creating edgesurf and revsurf, selecting edges to form smooth surfaces, and revolving a profile around an axis to produce rotational surfaces.
Explore AutoCAD surface modelling with planesurf and surfnetwork, turning objects into surfaces and building complex terrains and mechanical parts from curve networks.
Learn how the union boolean operation merges two or more regions, faces, or 3D solids into a single object in AutoCAD, using the union shortcut.
Learn how boolean operations find the intersection between solids, surfaces, or regions in AutoCAD, using the intersect command and creating regions with rtg to verify results.
Tag geographic locations to an AutoCAD workspace using map coordinates, latitude, longitude, and elevation for real-time visualization. Set location from map or file and choose coordinate systems.
Adjust sun properties and environmental exposures to study how time, date, and sky affect sunlight and mood. Use view controls to switch from wireframe to perspective and adjust lighting rendering.
Welcome to The Tutomaash AutoCAD Training video—your guide to the basic to professional commands that you need to create 2D drawings and 3D models using AutoCAD.
This videos are great to get started if you just completed your initial training, or to refresh your memory if you use AutoCAD only occasionally. The included commands are grouped together according to types of activity, and are arranged to follow a general workflow.
1. Basics Review the basic AutoCAD controls.
2. Viewing Pan and zoom in a drawing, and control the order of overlapping objects.
3. Geometry Create basic geometric objects such as lines, circles, and hatched areas.
4. Precision Ensure the precision required for your models.
5. Layers Organize your drawing by assigning objects to layers.
6. Properties You can assign properties such as color and linetype to individual objects, or as default properties assigned to layers.
7. Modifying Perform editing operations such as erase, move, and trim on the objects in a drawing.
8. Blocks Insert symbols and details into your drawings from commercial online sources or from your own designs.
9. Layouts Display one or more scaled views of your design on a standard-size drawing sheet called a layout.
10. Notes and Labels Create notes, labels, bubbles, and callouts. Save and restore style settings by name.
11. Dimensions Create several types of dimensions and save dimension settings by name.
12. Printing Output a drawing layout to a printer, a plotter, or a file. Save and restore the printer settings for each layout.
