AutoCAD Fundamentals Course (Self-Paced)

We start at the very beginning, using AutoCAD to draw drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, and then create a floor plan. We assemble everything into one sheet file. Learn about Drawing on Layers, Adding Text, Dimensions & Plotting.

• Create drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, a floor plan and integrate all information into one deliverable sheet file.
• Distinguish the differences required to generate drawings for use as annotation and real-world model components.
• Create and insert blocks and externally reference files and determine the appropriate times to apply those skill sets.
• Master file management, drafting on layers, integrating drawing component files and plotting while creating on the class residential project.

Use AutoCAD to draw an abbreviated set of construction documents for a residential project: floor plan, roof plan, foundation plan, electrical plan & building elevations. Create, insert and link drawings. Learn the best workflow.

• Create an abbreviated set of construction documents including floor plan, foundation plan, electrical plan and building elevations for a small residential project.
• Create and insert blocks, externally reference files and determine the appropriate times to apply those skill sets to optimize project efficiency.
• Demonstrate layer and file management, external file referencing, use of model/layout environments and user coordinate systems.
• Apply intermediate-level skills including layer management, user coordinate system development, creating sheet layout environments and plotting.
