AutoCAD Level I

Learn AutoCAD online from the ground up by creating drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, and a complete floor plan that is assembled into a single deliverable sheet file. This introductory course covers the AutoCAD interface and core commands, including drawing and modifying tools, layering standards, text, dimensioning, and plotting, all applied through a small residential project.

Students will also work with provided AutoCAD source files to manage drawings, apply layers, create and insert blocks, and reference external files at the appropriate stages. They will also distinguish between annotation elements and real-world model components while organizing files and preparing a plotted residential floor plan.

What You Will Learn

• Create drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, a floor plan and integrate all information into one deliverable sheet file.

• Create and insert blocks and externally reference files and determine the appropriate times to apply those skill sets.
• Master file management, drafting on layers, integrating drawing component files and plotting while working on the class residential project.
