AutoCAD 2D (Level 1)

AutoCAD professional draws the 2-dimensional objects/artifacts with user coordinates for the Architectural design of the building, render them with light shadows. Use of surfaces, solids, navigation helps to visualize the model in a simulated perspective. An individual with little supervision from inline manager(s) and with little autonomy will be able to update the drawings for real world scenarios.

Course Outcomes

1. A hands on approach to learning new software is a great way to get comfortable with your set of tools.
2. Along the way we'll learn how to navigate AutoCAD's User Interface and get a better understanding of the location and also types of tools available to us within this software package.
3. From there we'll learn how draw, modify, and even organize all our geometry and objects into color coded layers, each with a unique set of properties that we'll learn to edit.
4. After working with geometry, we'll learn how to annotate our drawing using things like text, dimensions, and multileaders.
5. Finally, once our basic floor plan is complete, we'll learn how to present and document our design by working with layouts and viewports.
6. Finally, once our basic floor plan is complete, we'll learn how to present and document our design by working with layouts and viewports.
7. By the end of this course, you'll be able to draw and modify geometry, organize your work into layers, annotate your drawings, and even present your work using layouts and title block templates.
