Full Course Breakdown
This is an essential level of hands-on training designed for new users with no or little experience using CAD software. The main objective of this course is to teach users the basic commands and features of the software, which are necessary to produce 2D drawings and design layouts in an AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT environment. In this course, you will learn the use of 2D commands, basic features and techniques for creating, editing, dimensioning, annotating and printing accurate AutoCAD drawings efficiently using hands-on basic exercises. This AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT Essentials covers the essential core topics for working with the AutoCAD software. The teaching strategy begins with a few basic tools that allow students to create and edit a simple drawing. The course gradually builds on these foundational tools as it progresses. Furthermore, the AutoCAD training guide introduces advanced tools throughout its lessons. Instead, it avoids covering every command or option. For example, it emphasises essential tools like precision drafting and layer management. Consequently, learners master key concepts efficiently. Thus, the guide ensures practical, focused skill development.
