Description
Welcome!  My name is Joe McGovern and I'm a high school teacher of Architecture, Engineering and Design.  I am also a project manager at a local Architecture firm.  In this beginner to advanced 2D course, I will start off by showing you how to easily navigate the User Interface.  This includes use of the command line, 3 coordinate systems of input, tool location, shortcuts, tips and tricks.  The following tools will be extensively reviewed throughout the course; Line, Polyline, Rectangle, Circle, Move, Copy, Trim, Extend, Dimensioning, DDIM, Stretch, Rotate, Mirror, Array, Offset, Fillet, Chamfer, Line Colors, Line Weights, Line Types, use of Layers and many more!  You will build the skills necessary to accurately depict 2D plans in this beginner to advanced order; Title Block, Line Types, Triangle Summary, Inlaid Linoleum (4-44), Field, Pacman, Fireplace, Door & Window, Furniture and iPhone.  I will not only show you how to draw these assignments, but I will teach you my work flow, my thought process and all the tips and tricks I've learned over the 20 years I've been studying Architecture and AutoCAD.  Join my course and follow along to take your 2D AutoCAD skills from the Beginner to Advanced level.  Thank you and enjoy the course!
