Create a rectangle in AutoCAD 2D by specifying first and second points or coordinates, then set length, width, and rotation, with area and fillet or chamfer options.
Learn to create polygons in AutoCAD 2D by specifying the number of sides, choosing inscribed or circumscribed circles, and defining the center and radius or the edge length.
Learn how to use the move tool in AutoCAD 2D to relocate objects by selecting base and destination points, without changing orientation, and measure the distance for precise positioning.
Learn to rotate objects in AutoCAD by selecting the object, specifying a base point, and entering an angle; copy creates parallel lines while adjusting references ensures accurate angles.
Master the AutoCAD 2D scale tools to enlarge or reduce objects without changing shape, using scale factors, base points, and reference lengths.
learn to apply fillet and chamfer in AutoCAD 2D to round corners and create angled edges, including radius settings, multi-vertex applications, and trim options.
Explode converts a group of objects into individually editable parts, including blocks, borderlines, and regions. Selectively explode poly line and blocks to edit lines, arcs, and rectangles.
Learn to measure distance, radius, and angles in AutoCAD 2D using the utilities panel, including delta x/y distances and circle or arc diameters.
Master AutoCAD 2D area measurement by calculating areas of enclosed objects, using point-by-point or object selection, and subtracting areas to create accurate results.
Learn to work with groups in AutoCAD 2D to move, stretch, scale, rotate, and edit objects, including converting lines to arcs and managing vertices.
Compare associative and non-associative hatch patterns, and learn how to set new origin points. Extend hatch patterns and align them so lines meet at the same origin.
Master object snap in AutoCAD to boost drawing accuracy by snapping to center, midpoint, geometric center, and intersections; use shift-right-click for tangent, perpendicular, and parallel modes.
Learn how to create and customize a new dimension style in AutoCAD 2D starting from the standard style, adjusting line color, line type, extension lines, arrows, text, and tolerances.
Master continue and baseline dimensions in AutoCAD by using a reference dimension and extension lines, creating a chain, and establishing baselines from a base dimension.
Create a new multileader style, choose leader type (straight, spline), set blue color and arrowhead, define two-point leaders, customize text (green, height 50), and modify to red.
Create a new text style in AutoCAD by using annotate, then define font, height, weight factor, and oblique angle, and apply it to text with rotation.
Create a simple 2D AutoCAD table by inserting it, choosing a style, defining columns and rows with a title header and data, and editing text.
Create and manage layers in AutoCAD by assigning objects to object and dimension layers, turning layers on or off, and using the layer properties dialog to set the current layer.
Discover how to hide and isolate objects on layers in large AutoCAD drawings, isolate a circle for modification, use select similar, and trim lines via the status bar.
Enter coordinates in AutoCAD to plot a 2d sketch from the origin, using the line tool to connect points A through D.
Execute a 2D AutoCAD sketch using horizontal and vertical lines of fixed lengths, an arc with diameter seven, and a circle with radius 1.5, centered and concentric.
Execute exercise 9 in the AutoCAD 2d mastery course by creating layers, drawing horizontal and vertical lines, lines at 60 degrees, mirroring, and circles with radii 5 and 14.
Learn AutoCAD 2D Step-By-Step Through Real Projects — Even If You’re Starting From Zero
Most beginners struggle with AutoCAD 2D because:
• They don’t know where to start
• They only learn tools, not real drafting workflows
• They get stuck creating clean drawings
• They don’t understand layers, constraints, or blocks
• They don’t learn industry-standard sheet setup and plotting
This course solves all of that with clear explanations, practical exercises, and real drawing projects that build true drafting skill.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or improving your current skills, you’ll learn AutoCAD 2D the right way — the way it’s actually used in engineering, design, and drafting roles.
What You’ll Learn Inside the Course:
1. Complete AutoCAD 2D Drafting Tools
You’ll learn all essential drawing tools to create simple and complex 2D drawings with confidence.
2. Core Modification Tools
Trim, extend, mirror, stretch, chamfer, fillet, offset, array, move, rotate — everything needed to draft efficiently.
3. Text, Tables & Annotations
• Single-line & multiline text
• Creating and formatting tables
• Adding functions inside table cells
• Proper annotation workflow for readable drawings
4. Layers & Organization
• Creating, using, and modifying layers
• Controlling color, line type, line weight
• Managing industry-standard layer practices
5. Constraints (Game-changer for beginners)
• Geometric constraints
• Dimensional constraints
• Building drawings that update automatically
6. Blocks & Attributes
• Creating, editing, and reusing blocks
• Using attributes for intelligent drawings
• Building reusable libraries
7. Working With External References (Xrefs)
• Attaching DWG or PDF files
• Managing and updating Xrefs
• Professional workflows used in design offices
8. Layouts, Viewports & Page Setup
• Creating layouts
• Generating multiple viewports
• Setting correct scales
• Preparing drawings for printing
9. Title Blocks & Plotting
• Creating custom title blocks
• Inserting and editing title block fields
• Plotting from model space and layouts
• Exporting PDFs professionally
10. Sheet Sets & Publishing
You’ll also learn how to create sheet sets and publish multiple drawings automatically.
By the End of This Course, You Will:
• Create professional 2D drawings with confidence
• Understand real-world drafting workflows
• Use all essential AutoCAD tools correctly
