There are 3 modules in this course

Learners will identify AutoCAD interface elements, create precise 2D geometry, apply modification tools, organize drawings with layers, and produce clear annotations and dimensions essential for professional drafting.

This beginner-friendly course provides a structured pathway to mastering AutoCAD from the ground up. Starting with workspace orientation and drawing setup, learners progress into core drawing tools such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, rectangles, and ellipses. They then explore powerful modify commands—including move, rotate, trim, extend, fillet, offset, scale, and stretch—building the skills needed to edit and refine technical drawings efficiently. The course concludes with layer management, text, dimensioning, block creation, and property control to help learners produce clean, organized, and fully annotated 2D designs. What makes this course unique is its hands-on, tool-focused approach supported by real subtitles from each instructional video, ensuring accuracy and clarity at every step. By the end of the course, learners will gain the confidence to navigate AutoCAD independently and apply industry-standard drafting techniques to engineering, architectural, or design projects.

This module introduces learners to the essential foundations of AutoCAD, including understanding the workspace, navigating drawing environments, setting units and limits, and managing fundamental interface tools. Learners build confidence as they explore core navigation controls and configuration settings that prepare them for accurate and efficient 2D drafting.
