AutoCAD Essentials
A three day introduction to the AutoCAD software.
AutoCAD is a powerful programme which allows designers and architects to create 2D and 3D computer aided designs. This three day course is intended to familiarise students with the different 2D tools available and to teach them the foundations of the software. Our experienced tutors will introduce students to the core skills of the program; taking them from complete beginners, to a level where they can be confident in their ability to generate and work with accurate scale plans and visuals. This course is open to applicants with basic technical drawing skills and intermediate computer literacy. Using hands on exercises, you will learn features, commands and methods for creating, editing, dimensioning, annotating and printing AutoCAD drawings.
