AUTOCAD |
Course Description
First released in 1982, AutoCAD is now the leading program for computer-aided design throughout the world. It is an essential tool in many industries, including mechanical and civil engineering, architecture, facilities planning and management. More employers use it, and need workers skilled in it, than any other CAD system.
The AutoCAD program takes a step-by-step approach to learning AutoCAD, starting with a few basic tools to let students create and edit a simple drawing, and then gradually introducing more advanced tools. Examples and practice exercises are taken from a variety of the fields where AutoCAD is used.
This program begins by focusing on basic 2D drawing and editing tools, objects on layers, text, and basic dimensions. Once the student masters the basic skills, they will move on to explore efficiency tools, complex objects, using external reference/image files, advanced plotting, enhancing productivity with simple customization.
Upon registering, you are given an initial six months to complete the program.
Course Objectives
By completing this course the student will learn to:
- Create accurate dimensioned drawings.
- Setup drawings to plot.
