AutoCAD is a suite of popular CAD (computer-aided design) software products for 2 and 3-dimensional design and drafting. Developed by Autodesk, the AutoCAD family of products has become the most widely used CAD software in the world. AutoCAD is a vector graphics drawing program, and it uses entities such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and text as the foundation for more complex objects. AutoCAD's native file format, AutoCAD DWG, and its interchange file format, DXF, have become the de facto gold standard in the industry for the interchange of 2D CAD data.
If your goal is to rapidly achieve proficiency with beginner and intermediate-level AutoCAD functionality, this accelerated bootcamp provides the ideal intensive learning pathway to launch your CAD career.
This comprehensive five-day, 40-hour bootcamp program progressively develops your skills from foundational AutoCAD interface literacy through application of sophisticated professional techniques and methodologies.
In the beginner AutoCAD class, you'll learn basic drawing and modifying techniques for drafting and technical drawing, using AutoCAD to create drawings that can be used to build real objects, both mechanical and architectural.
In the intermediate class, you will learn to create a basic 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software. You will start with the basic tools to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop those tools. More advanced tools are introduced throughout the course.
Note: this is a PC-only course (not suitable for Mac users).
