AutoCAD Fundamentals

AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software used by architects, engineers, construction professionals, and other design specialists to create precise 2D drawings and 3D models. Upon successful completion of the course, students develop essential drafting and modelling skills applicable across a range of design disciplines. They learn to organize objects into groups and layers, store objects for future use, and modify object properties such as size, shape, and location.

Students gain foundational knowledge of the AutoCAD interface, drafting tools, drawing setup, visual display commands, 2D geometry, object properties, hatching, annotation, and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) construction techniques. The course also develops skills in creating and modifying geometric designs using AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, preparing students to produce accurate and professional technical drawings.
