Description

AutoCAD Course: Mastering 2D Drafting & Design

This AutoCAD Course provides a hands-on learning experience in 2D drafting and design, covering everything from basic navigation to advanced drawing techniques. You’ll learn to create, modify, and organize drawings using tools like layers, object snaps, and polar tracking. The course also covers dimensioning, annotation, hatching, layouts, and reusable content (blocks & tool palettes) to improve efficiency.

You’ll practice real-world applications through exercises in architectural, mechanical, and automobile design, along with plotting and printing techniques. Perfect for students, engineers, architects, and designers, this course equips you with the skills needed for professional drafting and technical drawing.
