This AutoCAD Basics course will introduce you to the fundamentals of using AutoCAD for Computer-Aided Design (CAD). You will start at the very beginning—creating drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, a floor plan, and bringing everything together on a deliverable printed sheet. You will also create an abbreviated set of construction documents, such as a floor plan, roof plan, structural foundation plan, electrical plan, and building elevations. During this online AutoCAD course, you will learn about paper/model space and create deliverable sheet files.

If you need to get an introduction to AutoCAD, this AutoCAD course for beginners will get you up –and running. This class is hands-on, real-world applicable, and includes optional projects.

1. Introduction to AutoCAD
   1. The Interface and Architectural Symbols
   2. Electrical Symbols
   3. Kitchen and Bath Fixtures
   4. Walls, Doors, and Windows
   5. Creating Sheets and Adding Fixtures
   6. Dimensions and Plotting
2. Intermediate AutoCAD
   1. Create the Floorplan & Sheet Setup
   2. Finish Floorplan & Roof Plan
   3. Structural Foundation Plan & Electrical Plan
   4. Starting the Elevations
   5. Continuing the Elevations
   6. Finalizing, Checking & Plotting

What you will learn

• Create drafting symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, a floor plan, and integrate all information into one deliverable sheet file
• Understand variations required to generate drawings as well as annotations (used to explain design aspects) and real-world model components
• Create and insert blocks and external reference files to understand the appropriate times to apply those skill sets
• Demonstrate layer and file management, external file referencing, use of model/layout environments, and user coordinate systems
• Apply intermediate-level skills including layer management, user coordinate system development, creating sheet layout environments, and plotting

How you will benefit

• Develop skills needed for one of the most in-demand software in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry
• Gain an intermediate level understanding of AutoCAD
• Create an abbreviated set of construction documents that demonstrate hands-on knowledge to your future employers

This course is designed to be self-paced and does not involve any live classes. Instead, students will have access to various self-learning resources, including video materials, practice projects, e-books, and other materials available within the course modules. Although there is no direct interaction with an instructor, students can seek help from an industry expert by submitting questions via email.

In the AutoCAD certification course, you will learn to create sets of construction documents. The skills learned are state-of-the-art professional workflows and also prepare you to pass the Autodesk AutoCAD User certification exam.
