Mastering AutoCad: Complete Beginner to Advanced course

Learn to draw lines in AutoCAD with the line tool, using ortho mode and polar tracking to snap horizontal, vertical, and angle increments.

Customize the status bar by adding icons and toggling between model space and paper space. Enable grid mode, snap mode, dynamic mode, polar tracking, and object snap to draw lines.

Learn to draw with polar coordinates in AutoCAD by creating a line at a given angle and length, then a 150×100 mm rectangle, closing with c using shift+tab.

Use Cartesian coordinates in AutoCAD to draw lines and a rectangle by specifying x and y movements, such as 150 mm right and 100 mm up, with ortho mode active.

Explore creating objects with the line and polyline tools in AutoCAD, compare their behavior on rectangles, and learn to convert between line and polyline with pedit.

Learn to draw circles in AutoCAD using center radius, center diameter, two point, three point, tangent radius, and tangent to three objects, with practical steps and examples.

Master drawing arcs and ellipses in AutoCAD by using arc options and the ellipse features, including three-point, start center, start center angle, start center length, and elliptical arc methods.

Use the rotate, offset, and scale tools in AutoCAD to adjust a table scene, add a glass centerpiece via offset, and duplicate chairs by rotating about the geometric center.

Create two copies of a chair, position them to the right and left of the table, then mirror them across the table using AutoCAD's copy and mirror tools.

Explore creating selection sets in AutoCAD using fence, w polygon, and c polygon to select objects touched by or fully enclosed in the selection box, and practice isolate commands.

Master chamfers and fillets in AutoCAD by applying radii and first and second chamfer distances on a table, using the modify panel or command line, with multiple selections.

Master AutoCAD basics by using move, trim, and extend tools to manipulate lines and shapes. Learn selecting objects, fence and crossing methods, and extending to precise endpoints.

Learn to create a rectangular array in AutoCAD, adjust columns and rows, and change spacing; edit the source to add a center circle and move the array.

Learn to create a path array in AutoCAD by selecting a spline as the path, adjusting items, rows, distances, and alignment, with associative options and base points.

Create multiple copies of a chair around a round table with AutoCAD's polar array, adjusting the center point, item count, angle, and optionally replacing items to unify the design.

Master how to draw and edit splines in AutoCAD using spline fit and spline CV, exploring grips, fit points, and control vertices to shape paths.

Divide a line into ten equal segments with the divide tool, adjust point style to reveal segments, then measure and verify lengths using the distance tool and node snapping.

Import points from a CSV into Civil 3D, create a points group, and define an existing ground surface to visualize the terrain in 3D.

Master the AutoCAD utilities panel to dimension in real time, measure distance and angles, compute area and volume, and filter objects with quick select by color or layer.

Create and customize hatch patterns in AutoCAD, adjusting edge color, background, transparency, angle, and scale, using origin and pick point, and explore associative versus non-associative and annotative hatches.

Master smart hatches in AutoCAD by adjusting padding, scale, and boundary rules; explore island detection settings, separate hatches, and set a four-millimeter gap tolerance to hatch complex shapes.

Create boundaries with the boundary tool to form polyline regions and calculate area in AutoCAD, then apply linear and sphere gradients with centered and associative options.

Create and manage layers in AutoCAD using the Layer Properties Manager, assign objects to layers, and draw a boundary on the boundary layer in yellow while matching properties.

Create and apply property and group filters in AutoCAD to select layers by name, such as door, assemble them into a group, and use invert filter to view nonmatching layers.

Create and save layer states in AutoCAD, such as all layers, roof off, furniture off, and sanitation off, then use the layer work tool to selectively view visible objects.

Create a custom AutoCAD text style with Times New Roman bold italic at 15 mm, set it as current, then apply it to single-line text and align along an arc.

Create a simple two-column AutoCAD table via the annotate tab, setting insertion and dimensions. Add chapters with lesson counts and total them with a formula to 22 lessons.

Create a custom dimension style in AutoCAD using the dimension style manager, tailoring lines, symbols and arrows, text, and alternate units for precise, annotative dimensions.

Create a custom AutoCAD multi leader style from scratch, customize leader format, structure, and content, and apply it to drawings using tool palettes and text options.

Create a bed in AutoCAD and convert it to a block using the block panel, create, and detect tools, then recall and insert the block into the drawing for the master bedroom.

Learn to redefine blocks in AutoCAD using the block editor, move blocks between layers, and update existing blocks to reflect new properties and appearance.

Explore how to insert blocks in AutoCAD beyond the block panel, using tool palettes, recent blocks, and the design center to drag dynamic blocks, rotate, and place beds.

Learn how to use the wblock command to save a block or drawing as a separate DWG file, and how to redefine it in the original drawing.

Create and manage named groups in AutoCAD to move bathroom and kitchen together. Copy, mirror, ungroup, and edit group objects to apply the same layout across rooms.

Define attributes for a window block, create and recall the block, then insert it with size prompts (2 m by 1.5 m) to place windows in all rooms.

Learn to create an AutoCAD block with attributes by defining a desk attribute, inserting a field for the object name, and creating the desk block with a midpoint base point.

Insert and customize attributed desk blocks in AutoCAD, update numbers with the Enhanced Attribute Editor, copy across rooms, and extract desk data into a table with the data extraction wizard.
