Update: 24-07-2025: Extra exercises added in the extra chapter 11.
The course is designed to learn Autocad in a beginner-friendly way with direct and easy to understand explanations.
In the first two sections, students will learn to use the different tools do draw and modify objects, one by one. We will focus on using the maximum accuracy possible, which is something fundamental in Autocad.
Additionally, we’ll cover important topics such as Layers, Blocks, Attaching External Content or Plotting.
This knowledge will give you strong skills to work on various types of projects.
By the end of the course, we will introduce to 3D modelling and explore advanced techniques such as Dynamic Blocks, Attributes to Blocks and Fields. We will conclude with additional tips which can be useful for students.
I have structured this course so that students can learn effectively, regardless of their Autocad version.
To support your learning, exercise files are included in some lessons, so you can apply what you've learned right away.
As a final thought, keep this in mind: Mastering Autocad takes time, as this is a quite complex program and requires a lot of practice. If you stay patient and committed you will get there.
If you decide to join this course I'll be really grateful. I wish you a great learning experience.
