Description
AutoCAD is an immense software that has lots of options for advanced users, which makes it overwhelming to get started with as an architecture student. This course goes through the basics of AutoCAD and gets you to create a simple plan, section and elevation in around an hour! The course goes through the followingLearning commandsThe Layer systemCreating blocksMain tools and using themAdding dimensionsExporting using layoutsAfter the class, you will be able to easily create the plans that you have been working on in your Studio projects, with confidence in navigating the multiple commands offered by AutoCAD.
