Instructor: Ms Rasitha · CAD & Revit Expert

About this course

Learn AutoCAD from scratch through a practical, project-based course designed for engineering, diploma and architecture students. This course focuses on the essential 2D drafting skills needed to create accurate technical drawings and prepare them for printing.

You will learn drawing and modify commands, precision tools, layers, text and dimensions, blocks, layouts, viewports, scaling and printing through step-by-step practical demonstrations.

By the end of the course, you will be able to create a complete 2D residential floor plan, add annotations and dimensions, set up a layout, and prepare the drawing for PDF printing/output.
