  • Welcome to AutoCAD TutorialBay1:30

    Learn the basics of AutoCAD, including creating and moving simple objects, copying, scaling, and grouping; then design a simple floor plan and explore attributes and tables.

  • First steps getting to know the interface5:49

    Explore old and new AutoCAD interfaces, switch to AutoCAD classic via the workspace icon, and master toolbars, panels, and the command line and status bar for drawing and navigation.

  • Functions in AutoCAD6:31

    Learn to draw in AutoCAD by running commands via icons or shortcuts, place points to form lines and circles, and master selection and deletion with the properties window.

  • Three ways to draw basic objects15:23

    This AutoCAD tutorial shows three ways to draw a rectangle: line, polyline, and a coordinate-based approach. It also explains using the ortho function and both global and relative coordinates.

  • Specified points, Tracking and Ortho Functions3:39

    Explore specified points tracking and ortho functions in AutoCAD by reading exact X Y Z coordinates in the Properties window and moving objects via their center or end points.

  • Polar Tracking and drawing perpendicular objects7:53

    Master polar tracking in AutoCAD to draw in any direction, generate perpendiculars to existing lines, and use onsnap and quick properties for precise input along the x and y axes.

  • How to modify objects effectively8:59

    Modify objects in AutoCAD by drawing a triangle with the polygon function and a 100 by 100 square, then move, rotate, and align for precise layouts.

  • Polyline Options7:00

    Master polyline options in AutoCAD by using the P L command, setting widths with W, and editing start, end, and segment widths to draw arrows and rectangles.

  • Converting Lines to Polilines1:38

    Learn how to convert a line into a polyline in AutoCAD by using the polyline option and the join tool to unite multiple lines into a single editable polyline.

  • Breaking up a Polyline1:32

    Break a polyline at a point using break at point in the ribbon menu, then specify first and second break points to create a gap and yield two polylines.

  • Three ways to draw a circle 8:43

    AutoCAD Tutorial demonstrates three circle drawing methods: center and radius, center and diameter, and command-line diameter; it highlights using options for precise radius and related circle features.

  • Using chamfer and fillet functions6:55

    Learn to apply chamfer and fillet in AutoCAD to rectangles and polylines, adjusting radii and distances for precise corners. Explore angle based chamfers for roofs and polygon edits.

  • Working with Splines3:51

    Learn to create and edit splines in AutoCAD by drawing curves through specified points, moving and refining points to shape the spline, and elevate order to 15 via refine options.

  • Attributes template

Description

An Innovative AutoCAD Tutorial

This is a tutorial that will help you learn the AutoCAD program quickly and effectively. All the lessons are video recorded and they will guide you step by step, demonstrating how to work with the program. Into your hands, we give you 6,5 hour video teaching material created by a design engineer!

What is AutoCAD?

AutoCAD 2D software is a common CAD design tool used by professionals around the world. The program is used in different industrial and business areas, such as nterior design, architecture, mapping, surveying, manufacturing, electronics, landscaping, and electrical, mechanical, or environmental engineering. It enables 2D design, drafting and documantation. The AutoCAD 2D course prepares to work in the environment of 2D Computer-Aided Design/Drafting

Learn AutoCAD with No Secrets

The course is constructed to satisfy the needs of beginners as well as more advanced users. For this course you need to have one of the 2006-2010 AutoCAD versions. If you have never worked with AutoCAD, a logical sequence of lessons will enable you to quickly remember all its features. Since the layout of 2009 AutoCAD version is different, the tutorial takes this difference into account and both a new and old AutoCAD layouts are discussed. More advanced AutoCAD users will surely appreciate examples that demonstrate how to organize the work with many drawings by, for example, organizing layers, grouping items, creating styles, moving items form one drawing to the other, printing and creating your own libraries.

Is This Course for Me?

This course is designed both for the beginners and more advanced AutoCAD users. The instructor starts with the basics, such us moving, copying, scaling, grouping items, and working on layers. He demonstrates how to make a floor plan and print it. Next, he teaches you to make an engineering drawing and to effectively use other essential AutoCAD features like attributes and tables. The course ends with a short introduction to 3D designing. Clear instructions and video illustration of all the steps help you acquire all necessary skills in no time.
