Adjust playback speed and video quality for optimal AutoCAD learning, enable captions if needed, and download resource files, Q&A, quizzes, assignments, and projects for mastery and interview and certificate preparation.
From this lecture onwards we will be going to start our AutoCAD, This is an introductory lecture that will make you familiar with the
History of AutoCAD.
Topics that we will cover in this course.
Workbench of an AutoCAD.
The Ortho mode in AutoCAD is used to restrict cursor movement to specific directions. It allows the cursor movement only in the vertical and horizontal direction.
Learning basic shapes are important! Since all the drawing are made using basic shapes only.
In this lecture, we will going to learn about
Circles & it's different approaches.
1. Centre, Radius
2. Centre, Diameter
3. 2 Point Circle, 3 Point Circle
4. Tan Tan Radius & Tan Tan Tan
The rectangle command is used to create rectangles in our drawing.
There are two methods to draw a rectangle. In the first method, we can create rectangles randomly by specifying the points. In the second method, we can create rectangles by specifying the value (length and width), Area.
Explore construction lines and infinite lines in AutoCAD, learning to access the draft toolbar, set a starting point, and create one-sided or two-sided infinite lines.
This exercise will help you in creating your first drawing in AutoCAD, we will be focusing mainly on line command in this Exercise.
Master the line command to construct an 'A' section in AutoCAD by using reference lines, symmetry, precise measurements, and join and delete techniques to create x sections and a triangle.
Trim is one of the most important editing tools, It helps you in trimming out certain portion of your drawing. In this lecture we will be learning that how we can use the trim command, and in the next lecture we will be looking for some of the important properties related to the trim.
Explore advanced trim options in AutoCAD, including crossing, fence, and edge, with extend and no extent control, learning how intersections determine trim and how to undo or erase actions.
Feet & Inches is the basic measuring unit in which we use AutoCAD for Civil & Architectural Drawings.
Like to draw a house plan(Section or Elevation), we have to use feet and inches, since it would be very difficult to represent units in millimeters.
Master AutoCAD with an exercise-driven lesson on the trim command, creating magnet-like figures from concentric circles and center lines using 30 mm and 50 mm diameters.
The polygon command is used to create polygons in AutoCAD. We need to specify the number of sides to create a polygon.
Different methods to use polygon are
1. Inscribed Circle Method.
2. Circumscribed Circle Method.
Status Bar is located in the downward section of your AutoCAD Workbench and it contains the tools that we make your task easy, basically the tools that are found over here are the kinds of supporting tools.
In the above sections, we have seen the "Ortho Command" that is a part of Status Bar, and it restricts the motion of cursor that helps you in creating the straight line, Similarly, in this section also, we will be going to learn some of the important tools of the Status bar like Snaps, Polar Tracking, etc.
Snap restricts the movement of the crosshairs cursor to an interval that you define.
Explore advanced object snap properties in AutoCAD, including endpoint, center, midpoint, tangent, quadrant, apparent intersection, and point snaps, with filters and shift-right-click techniques.
In this section, we will be looking for some of the editing tools that helps in creating some of the edit features like Fillets, Chamfer, we will also be looking for all kinds of manipulation tools, like, Move, Copy, Rotate, Scale. These tools may look complicated but once we learning the basic concepts and procedure to use them, you will find them easy.
These command are very much used in Civil or Architectural Plans, these tools are frequently used in creating staircase, Front Elevation of building, etc.
The offset command in AutoCAD is used to create parallel lines, concentric circles, and parallel curves.
Offset command is very popular in creating staircases in civil plans.
Mirror command is mostly used to create symmetric objects like Car, etc.
The fillet command is used to create rounded edges between the adjacent lines and faces in 2D and 3D.
Master the chamfer command in AutoCAD by exploring distance-distance and distance-angle methods, applying chamfers to lines and polylines, and using the multiple input option for repeated operations.
Let's see how we can create a House plan in AutoCAD, here, we are going to see the use of tools like, line, offset, trim, etc.
Explore the hatch command in AutoCAD, applying patterns to closed areas, adjusting scale, angle, transparency, and color. Learn associative versus non-associative hatch and how the hatch editor behaves during edits.
Explore solid and gradient hatch techniques in AutoCAD to fill boundaries with a single color or multiple colors. Adjust transparency and edit hatch properties to refine color and gradient patterns.
Learn to use the hatch command in AutoCAD with a new boundary set to hatch inside internal boundaries, including object selection and color options.
Explore AutoCAD's array tool, blending offset and copy to create patterns. Learn rectangular arrays: select the object, set rows and columns, and adjust spacing; polar and path arrays follow.
Apply polar array and mirror commands to build a symmetric AutoCAD figure around a centerline. Follow the practice manual to create a six-sided added part with circles, trim, and reflections.
Practice polar array with six instances in AutoCAD by constructing center lines and circles of 40 and 62 diameter, trimming, mirroring, and tangent arcs with a 200 diameter circle.
Learn to use pitch circle diameter (PCD) in AutoCAD by building concentric circles and holes, pattern with a circular array, and refine center lines for precise bolt-hole layouts.
Learn to create AutoCAD dimensions with linear, line, and angular options, including radius and diameter for circles and arcs. Explore extension lines and how to handle scale issues for dimensions.
Master adding and editing leaders in AutoCAD, linking arrowheads to text for annotations, and using single or multi leader with proper text editor workflows.
Create and customize a basic AutoCAD table by inserting from data or Excel, adjusting columns, rows, and styles, and editing content directly at the insertion point.

Topics that we cover in this course.
2D Drafting(AutoCAD 2D): AutoCAD is popular for its 2D Drafting, It provides very flexible tools that makes the job easy. We will be spending a lot of time in this section and we will be covering all the basic shapes tools, like Line, Circle, Rectangle, Polygon, etc.
We will also going to see the important editing tools like trim, move, scale, etc. Here we are also going to learn about the important concepts that will help you in making your designs comprehensive
Some of the major concepts that we cover are
1. Important Tools on Status Bar- This tools will help you in precise snapping of different objects.
2.Important Editing Tools- Here, we will going to learn about the tools that will help you in editing the drawings that we create, because without editing it is difficult to generate the complex features.
